Racked is no longer publishing. Thank you to everyone who read our work over the years. The archives will remain available here; for new stories, head over to Vox.com, where our staff is covering consumer culture for The Goods by Vox. You can also see what we’re up to by signing up here.

How can you fittingly celebrate the men who have given you life, taught you skills such as how to change a tire or balance a checkbook (both of which we could use a refresher course on), or helped you create your own little bundle of joy? For the fathers, grandfathers, uncles, husbands, and other remarkable men in your life, Father's Day can be intimidating.

That's exactly why in addition to providing you with gift ideas courtesy of the coolest dads in town, we've also compiled a list of things to do this week to honor all the rad dads out there. Whether it's treating him to a trim while he munches on donuts or cruising a lineup of classic cars in the heart of Beverly Hills, this roundup of activities should have something to offer for even the most discerning dude. And check back throughout the week, as we'll be adding more events as they roll in.
