A day of celebration observed on the various member worlds of the United Federation of Planets commemmorating the founding of the Federation back in the year 2161. Aboard the starship Enterprise-D in 2368, Federation Day was observed on stardate 45614.(TNG: "The Outcast")

Using the stardate of TNG:"The Outcast" as a mathematical reference point, a Terran calendar date of August 12th emerges using the most popular method of TNG-era stardate calculation/conversion. This could very well entail that the San Francisco charter-signing ceremony depicted at the end of ENT: "These Are the Voyages..." happened on August 12, 2161, and that this is the actual birth date of the United Federation of Planets. Unfortunately, no datapoint in either the aforementioned TNG episode nor the ENT finale confirms this in any concrete way.
