Father’s Day is on the horizon, and it’s time to start thinking about what to give Dad besides a tie and some socks. Try this idea on for size – you can wine and dine Dad throughout the entire month of June with Food Festivals that are being held all across the country. Rent a timeshare and let the patriarch of your clan indulge. A fun blog “Feeding America’s Middle” from nileguide.com suggests these as the top June food festivals sure to tickle Dad’s fancy.
- Philippine Food Festival, San Francisco CA, now through the end of June, offers countless varieties of Filipino food at no less than 15 different participating restaurants, and is hosted by the Philippine Consulate in San Francisco.

- Chili and Brew Fest, Snowmass, CO, June 4-5.

Dad will enjoy two brew sampling sessions featuring 50-plus breweries. A new addition this year is the European and exotic beers tent. Check out Colorado timeshare rentals.
- New Orleans Oyster Festival, New Orleans, June 5-6. Taking place in the historic French Quarter with its famous oyster eating and oyster shucking contests (see photo), this is one of the biggest food festivals in the country. The aim is to “educate the country about the benefits of the Louisiana Gulf Oyster, and honor and celebrate the restaurateurs and oyster farmers who have solidified the New Orleans French Quarter’s position as the Oyster Capital of America.” In light of the oil rig disaster in the Gulf, this year all proceeds will go to Save Our Coast.

- NYC Food-Film Festival, New York City, NY, June 23-24. Have you ever watched a movie and wished you could join in the food scenes? Be it a clam bake, an elegant dinner party, or a hotdog street vendor, it’s tempting to want to hop right into the film and chow down. At this unique festival, Dad will watch a movie, and while watching the film he’ll actually be eating the food that’s being shown in the scenes. How cool is that?
