Father's Day in Indonesia is observed every November 12. This holiday celebrates fatherhood and paternal bonds, honoring fathers and recognizing their role in society. Although it was first celebrated in 1910, inspired by Sonora Smart Dodd, the holiday is not official and lacks widespread popularity in Indonesia. Many Indonesians are not aware of its existence, and it is uncommon for children to give presents or greeting cards to their fathers. In Indonesian culture, fathers are traditionally seen as the main providers and heads of the household, often maintaining a formal distance from their children.
