The Hall of Fame Village sponsored by Johnson Controls will host a Fatherhood Festival on Father's Day weekend.

The three-day festival, scheduled for June 17-19, is a family-oriented event to bring parents and children closer together.

Longtime Cincinnati Bengal Anthony Muñoz and Chicago Bears legend Mike Singletary — both members of the Pro Football Hall of Fame — will be guest speakers.

Muñoz, who serves as the ambassador of the Fatherhood Festival, will speak at 7 p.m. Friday June 17. The film "American Underdog: The Kurt Warner Story" will be shown afterward.

"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," Muñoz said in a prepared statement. "It’s incredible to have an event of this magnitude where the epicenter of football and the epicenter of fatherhood come together."

Singletary will speak at 10 a.m. June 18. He is well-remembered as an All-Pro linebacker who was part of the Chicago Bears team that won the Super Bowl.

There will be sports-themed activities throughout the day, which will be capped off with a performance by country music star Jordan Davis at 7 p.m.

Tom Benson Hall of Fame Stadium will be open to the public at 9 a.m. Sunday for a "Father's Day Inspiration Service." There will be a Father's Day brunch at 10 a.m. and then a tour around the Pro Football Hall of Fame.

"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," Hall of Fame Village Vice President of Business Development and Anthony Muñoz's son Michael Muñoz said in a prepared statement. "We look forward to celebrating parenting and childhood together as one giant family on Father’s Day weekend."
