Every dad is different, which makes Johns Creek an easy place to plan a Father’s Day weekend around what he actually enjoys. Whether he loves great food, live events, fresh air, local beer, family time or a quiet weekend away, Johns Creek makes it easy to plan a celebration that feels relaxed, fun and close to everything. Located just outside Atlanta, Johns Creek gives visitors the best of both worlds.
Start the weekend with a celebration
Start the weekend with live music on Friday, June 19, when Sam & Reese perform at Adobo Taqueria & Tequila Bar at 6:30 p.m. It is the perfect excuse to grab dinner, order a drink and ease into the weekend with Dad.
Saturday evening, bring the whole family to the City of Johns Creek’s Juneteenth Celebration at Newtown Park from 5 to 9 p.m. This free community event will feature food, activities, performances and plenty of family fun.
Soccer fans can also find local watch parties and match-day happenings on our Match Day Central page. Whether you are visiting for the big matches in Atlanta or just looking for a fun place to catch a game with other fans, Johns Creek is a great place to be part of the excitement.
If classical music is more his style, Autrey Mill Nature Preserve is hosting the Classical Music Festival on Sunday, June 21 at 7:30pm. This free outdoor concert will feature music from Bridgerton and Mendelssohn, making it a relaxing way to enjoy a summer evening in Johns Creek.
Take Dad outdoors
For the dad who would rather be outside, spend the morning walking the trails at Autrey Mill Nature Preserve, explore the open spaces at Cauley Creek Park or enjoy time along the Chattahoochee River. These are easy, low-pressure ways to get outside and make the day feel like a real break from the usual routine.
Visitors can also stop by the Boardwalk at Town Center, one of Johns Creek’s newest outdoor spaces. With pond overlooks, an elevated trail, terraced seating and a beautiful setting near City Hall, it is a great spot for a walk, photos or a simple moment to slow down and enjoy the weekend.
Treat him to a meal worth the trip
No Father’s Day weekend is complete without good food, and Johns Creek has no shortage of options. With more than 125 restaurants inside the city, visitors can find everything from brunch and coffee to steak, seafood, international cuisine, casual favorites and sweet treats.
Plan brunch, grab dinner after an afternoon outside or let Dad pick something new. Johns Creek is known for its variety, so this is the weekend to try a cuisine you do not get every day. Whether your family wants something casual and kid-friendly or a full sit-down dinner, there is a table waiting.
Add something just for him
For the dad who loves golf, book a tee time at RiverPines Golf. The 18-hole course sits along the Chattahoochee River and gives him a chance to spend part of the weekend outside without having to travel far. If you want something more casual, RiverPines also has a Par 3 course with first-come, first-serve tee times.
For the dad who would rather celebrate with a good pour, Father’s Day Out at Max’s Bottle Shop is happening Saturday, June 20 from 4 to 8 p.m. This all-inclusive cigar and bourbon pairing includes premium hand-rolled cigars from Bombones Mobile Cigar Lounge, craft bourbons by Jeptha Creed and food from City BBQ.
This Father’s Day weekend, skip the same old plans and give Dad a weekend with good food, fresh air, family time and something new to explore. Johns Creek is ready to welcome you.
