6. The Lohlunat

The Lohlunat (or Festival of the Moons) is a holiday from Risa. Hoshi Sato was invited to the Lohlunat in the Enterprise episode Two Days And Two Nights, but we didn't actually learn much about it in the episode.

Star Trek Online expanded on the holiday greatly and turned the Lohlunat festival into an annual summer event in the game where players can compete and beat challenges to earn unique items. The Lohlunat Festival has gone on every year since 2013, and has grown to include jet-pack flying challenges, powerboard races, dance battles, the Horga'hn Hunt, and many more Risa-themed activities.

Your captain can visit the resort on Risa year-round, but the challenges and their rewards are only available during the summer event, which took place from June 28th to July 28th last year. The event's a great way to celebrate the summer in Star Trek fashion, and it's just really cool that something mentioned so briefly in an episode of Enterprise has turned into such a huge event in the Trek community.
