The first Star Trek convention was held on February 22, 1975, at Lincoln High School in San Francisco, CA, and was called "The Red Hour Festival." It was a huge success, leading to larger conventions in San Francisco, Oakland, and Los Angeles, which left a lasting impact on science-fiction fans and "Trekkers." These conventions helped awaken Paramount from hibernation, ultimately leading to the creation of the first Star Trek film in 1979.
