Boldly Going to Garland: Celebrating 60 Years of Star Trek

An Intergalactic Adventure from the It Came From Texas Film Festival

Sixty years ago, a five-year mission launched television audiences into the final frontier—and the journey has never truly ended.

Join Garland Cultural Arts and the It Came From Texas Film Festival for Boldly Going to Garland, a one-day celebration honoring six decades of Star Trek. Whether you’re a lifelong Trekkie (or Trekker, if you prefer), a casual fan, or introducing a new generation to the Federation, this event promises a day of exploration, imagination, and fun.

Enjoy classic episode and feature film screenings, trivia competitions, costume contests, photo opportunities, engaging panel discussions, vendors, and more as we celebrate the stories, characters, and optimistic vision that have inspired fans around the world for 60 years.

And because every great Texas festival deserves a Lone Star connection, we’re proud to note that Star Trek creator Gene Roddenberry was born in El Paso, Texas, making this galactic gathering a perfect fit for the It Came From Texas Film Festival.

So dust off your Starfleet uniform, polish your communicator, and join us as we boldly go to Garland!
