Each year, the Star Trek Universe celebrates Star Trek Day. The annual event commemorates the September 8th broadcast premiere of the first episode of Gene Roddenberry’s Wagon Train to the Stars in 1966. In order to acknowledge the show’s cultural impact, Trekkies across the world celebrate the day annually, with Star Trek‘s parent companies often getting in on the action by announcing the franchise’s latest and most exciting news.
This year was no different. With the commencement of Star Trek Day 2025, StarTrek.com announced the launch of the franchise’s year-long fan-centric anniversary celebration in preparation for the 60th anniversary of Star Trek on September 8, 2026.
The 60th anniversary celebration—which officially kicks off in January 2026—celebrates “Space for Everybody,” which will extend “an open invitation to celebrate the future that Star Trek aspires to – a future of HOPE, a future of EXPLORATION and a future where we rise to the challenge to BE BOLD,” according to the official announcement.
