Hall of Fame Village powered by Johnson Controls today announced event details for the Fatherhood Festival to be held Father’s Day Weekend, June 17-19, at its Tom Benson Hall of Fame Stadium by the Fatherhood Institute. The family-friendly event will include on-field sports-themed activities, guest speaking appearances by Pro Football Hall of Famers, a stadium screening of American Underdog: The Kurt Warner Story and a concert featuring country star Jordan Davis. Daily and weekend tickets go on sale through Ticketmaster on Friday, April 22nd at 10 a.m. at www.hofvillage.com.

The Fatherhood Festival is intended to be a fun for the whole family event aimed at helping dads and their children form closer connections with one another, serving moms and single moms and providing engagement with father figures for fatherless kids in a safe and fun environment. The idea was conceived by Hall of Fame Resort & Entertainment Company (“HOFV”) in partnership with Justin Batt, Founder of The Fatherhood Institute and Daddy Saturday Foundation. Additional contributors include 1998 Pro Football Hall of Fame inductees Anthony Muñoz, a Cincinnati Bengals legend, Mike Singletary, a Chicago Bears legend, and other NFL Alumni. Partners include the Ohio Department of Job and Family Services (OhioJFS), Ohio Commission on Fatherhood and Kenneth Braswell, CEO of Fathers Incorporated. Purpose-aligned corporations are encouraged to contact Justin Batt for a limited number of sponsorship packages.

The Festival will feature numerous opportunities for dads and their children – and moms – to strengthen their bonds by participating in friendly competitions and games, interactive sponsor areas, hearing from NFL legends, sharing meals together and more. It will also feature special live and virtual appearances from some of the most high-profile current and former NFL players, celebrities, as well as a special performance from country music star Jordan Davis which will include his hit song “Buy Dirt”.

“Fatherhood is at the very heart of how we can work together to strengthen America, which is why I am so excited to serve as a Hall of Fame ambassador for The Fatherhood Festival. It’s incredible to have an event of this magnitude where the epicenter of football and the epicenter of fatherhood come together,” said Anthony Muñoz, Hall of Fame Class of 1998.

“We are very excited to host the Fatherhood Festival and provide an opportunity for fathers and mothers across the country to get away from the hustle and bustle of everyday life and focus solely on their children,” said Michael Muñoz, Vice President, Business Development for HOFV and son of Anthony Muñoz. “If there is one thing parents wish for more than anything, it’s having more quality time with their sons and daughters, and this event will offer an unforgettable experience free of distractions and stress. We look forward to celebrating parenting and childhood together as one giant family on Father’s Day weekend.”

The Fatherhood Festival is a technology forward event featuring simulcasts for portions of the event including the Jordan Davis concert, as well as a custom mobile application and nonfungible tokens (NFTs) for attendees.
