From Star Trek:

First Contact Day "A holiday celebrated in the Federation on April 5, marking the anniversaries of the flight of the Phoenix and of first contact between Humans and Vulcans in 2063."

The Phoenix was a Human spaceship launched in 2063. Constructed from an old Titan V nuclear ICBM, the Phoenix was designed by Zefram Cochrane, and was the first vessel in Earth history to travel at warp speed (having reached a speed of warp 1.1).

The Vulcans are a humanoid species native to the planet Vulcan. They are one of the founding species of the United Federation of Planets and made First Contact with humans upon learning of their achievement of warp speed.
