in effect
This is a presidential proclamation (Proclamation 10953, signed June 13, 2025) formally designating June 15, 2025 as Father’s Day in the United States. It is issued under a 1972 joint resolution of Congress (36 U.S.C. 109) that authorizes the President to make this annual declaration. The proclamation directs government officials to display the U.S. flag on federal buildings on that day and invites state, local governments, and the public to observe the holiday with appropriate ceremonies.
Father’s Day is an existing annual observance, so this proclamation continues an established tradition rather than creating something new. It formally sets June 15, 2025 as the official observance date for that year. Federal government buildings are directed to fly the U.S. flag on that specific date. State and local governments and private citizens are invited — but not legally required — to observe the day with ceremonies. No funding, regulations, or legal requirements change as a result of this proclamation.
Federal agencies and buildings are directly directed to display the U.S. flag on June 15, 2025. State and local governments and the general public are invited to participate in observances, though this is advisory rather than mandatory. No individual rights, obligations, or benefits are created or altered by this proclamation.
