Why Picard Is The Only Star Trek Captain With His Own Holiday

Star Trek icon Captain Jean-Luc Picard (Patrick Stewart) is celebrated yearly on Captain Picard Day, a milestone Picard earned through his tenure as the franchise's flagship character as well as Stewart's off-screen reputation as a goodwill ambassador for the final frontier. Captain Picard debuted in 1987 as the lead character of Star Trek: The Next Generation, the first official Star Trek project not to involve the cast of Star Trek: The Original Series. A classically trained, generational talent, Stewart was one of the compelling reasons to watch TNG during its first two bumpy seasons.
