Defender of the Fatherland Day), March 19th (as
Festa del Papà in Italy,
Dia do Pai in Portugal and
Día del Padre in Spain),
Ascension Day (Germany), the first Sunday in June (Switzerland), the second Sunday in June (Austria and Belgium), June 21st, the first day of
summer (Lebanon, Egypt, Jordan & Syria), the first Sunday of September (Australia, New Zealand) and the second Saturday of November (many Scandinavian countries). For a complete overview of the dates of Father's Day around the world see

Although the name of the event is usually understood as a plural possessive (i.e. "day belonging to fathers"), which would under normal English punctuation guidelines be spelled "Fathers' Day" (not "Fathers Day"), the most common spelling is "Father's Day", as if it were a singular possessive (i.e. "day belonging to Father").
