Hiking/drinking tour on Herrentag
In Germany, Father's Day (Vatertag) is celebrated differently from other parts of the world.[43][44] It is always celebrated on Ascension Day (the Thursday forty days after Easter), which is a federal holiday. Regionally, it is also called men's day, Männertag, or gentlemen's day, Herrentag.
It is tradition for groups of males (young and old but usually
excluding pre-teenage boys) to do a hiking tour with one or more
smaller wagons, Bollerwagen, pulled by manpower. In the wagons are wine or beer (according to region) and traditional regional food, Hausmannskost. Many men use this holiday as an opportunity to get drunk.[44]
These traditions are probably rooted in Christian Ascension Day's processions to the farmlands,[45][46] some of which reportedly took on the character of drinking sprees as early as in the 17th century.[45] Similar "gentlemen parties" have also taken place in the streets of urban areas, especially Berlin, since the 19th century.[45] However, many fathers opt to spend the day with their families instead and refrain from getting drunk.[45][46] Many people will take the following Friday off at work, and some schools are closed on that Friday as well; many people then use the resulting four-day long weekend for a short vacation.
The rest of the population has also begun to celebrate the Gokarna Aunsi day [47] It is commonly known as Abu ya Khwa Swoyegu in Nepal Bhasa or Buwaako mukh herne din (बुवाको मुख हेर्ने दिन) in Nepali (literally "day for looking at father’s face").[37][48] On the new moon day (Amavasya) Hindus go to the Shiva temple of Gokarneswor Mahadev, in Gokarna, a suburb of Kathmandu while Buddhists go to Jana Bahal (Seto Machhindra Nath or white Tara) temple in Kathmandu to pay respect to their deceased father.[47]

Most Filipinos born in the 1960s and 1970s did not celebrate Father's day, but Filipinos now follow this tradition and other American holidays, most likely due to the influence of the United States through television and the internet.
