The Star Trek 30th Anniversary Celebration was a one-time convention event and party focused solely on Star Trek, held on the evening of Saturday, September 7, 1996.

It was chaired by Anthony Wynn and Camilla Sundholm and was held at the Melody Ballroom in Portland, Oregon. Proceeds benefited Parkinson's disease treatment and research at the Parkinson's Center of Oregon.

Special guests were Robin Curtis and Gary Lockwood; the "special surprise guest" was actor Paul Carr (Lt. Lee Kelso in the Star Trek TOS episode Where No Man Has Gone Before). Music was provided by the Dick Saunders Trio and the evening was hosted by Portland television personality Rob Sample.

Events included a Special Charity Auction, Hors d'Ouerves, Autographs, and a Star Trek Birthday Party (that featured a large birthday cake and "The Happy Birthday Song" sung to Star Trek by the attendees). Ticket prices were $15.00 in advance and $17.00 at the door.

The event attracted over 350 attendees and raised over $10,000 for the charity.
