- First Contact Day was a holiday celebrated in the Federation on April 5, marking the anniversaries of the flight of the Phoenix and of first contact between Humans and Vulcans in 2063. While not a major holiday, Naomi Wildman and Neelix planned an elaborate celebration aboard the USS Voyager in 2377, including cheese pierogies, rock and roll music, and a reenactment of the historic first contact by Lieutenant Commander Tuvok. The day often meant a day off from school for Federation youth. (VOY episode: "Homestead", ST website: Startrek.com)
- On Earth, children were given a day off from school, a fact that Captain Kathryn Janeway remembered was really the only way it was celebrated. Naomi Wildman and Neelix planned the 2378 observation of the event aboard USS Voyager. The festivities included Zefram Cochrane's favorite food, cheese pierogies and rock and roll music on Tom Paris's jukebox. At Neelix's insistence, Tuvok gave the Vulcan salute while reciting the greeting given by the Vulcans during first contact, "Live long and prosper." He did not see the point of it, but everyone in attendance applauded. (Star Trek: First Contact; VOY: "Homestead")
