Dads dedicate their lives to supporting their kids. From reading endless goodnight stories to slogging through sleep-deprived days, fathers work hard. On your fellow's special day, show him he's appreciated with the help of these local events.

MENDOCINO COUNTY

Ukiah Does Dad need to shake and groove? The high-energy funk-jazz-rock band MarchFourth will give him a chance to rip up the dance floor. Dressed up in reinvented marching band outfits (think Burning Man), the high-energy 20-person ensemble will deliver a free show, featuring electric bass, a four-piece percussion corps, a seven-part brass section, and dancers and acrobats, at Todd Grove Park on June 16, 6-9 p.m. For a taste of their genre-busting style, check out their videos on their Facebook page: facebook.com/marchfourthmarchingband.
