The year 2026 will mark a historic milestone for Star Trek as the legendary franchise celebrates its 60th anniversary. In honor of next year’s Star Trek Day (Sept. 8, 2026), Paramount has unveiled a yearlong slate of celebrations under the theme “Space for Everybody” — an invitation to embrace the franchise’s enduring values of hope, exploration, inclusivity, and bold imagination.
Festivities officially begin in January 2026, with major events, new launches, and global partnerships rolling out throughout the year.
Rose Parade Kickoff
Star Trek will ring in the anniversary on Jan. 1 with a spectacular float at the Rose Parade® in Pasadena. The floral creation will embody the franchise’s spirit of exploration and unity while spotlighting the upcoming series Star Trek: Starfleet Academy.
