Closet Cosplay Show

You don’t need a transporter room full of professional costume pieces to join the fun. Come dressed as your favorite character, create your own interpretation, or assemble a look from whatever is already in your closet. Our Closet Cosplay Show gives adult fans the chance to walk the stage, share their look, and compete for prizes before our judges select the winners.

​

Registration opens at 3:00 PM and is limited to 10 participants.

 

Plus...

 

Expect cosplayers throughout the event, community tables, photo opportunities, music, and a closing of "Faith of the Heart" written by Diane Warren and originally performed by Rod Stewart (the Star Trek Enterprise Theme Song) with your fellow Star Trek fans.

​

Admission is FREE. RSVP required.

 

Star Trek attire and cosplay are enthusiastically encouraged, but absolutely not required. Come in uniform, come in costume, or come exactly as you are.

Set your course for Long Island City and join us as we celebrate 60 years of boldly going where no one has gone before.
