Trek or Treat: A Star Trek Costume Party Took Over Mayday Space in Bushwick, NYC

On the evening of Friday, October 16, 2026, Mayday Space in Bushwick, Brooklyn, hosted Trek or Treat, a Halloween-flavored Star Trek costume party. It ran from 6 to 9pm, and admission was free. The organizer was Starbase NYC, a group building a Star Trek fan community in the city.

The night was one installment in a monthly Star Trek meetup that celebrates the franchise's 60th anniversary and what comes after. The host described it as a good first event for growing the community. Guests were invited to bring friends and cosplay, and the Trek-curious were welcome too.

The program had three parts: screenings of spooky space-themed episodes, behind-the-scenes extras, and a costume party. The best-dressed fan won a prize in latinum, the currency of the Star Trek universe. The promotional art leaned into the horror angle. It used a scene from the original series in which Kirk in his gold tunic and McCoy in blue are shackled to a stone wall while a skeleton hangs close by.

The venue, Mayday Space, is at 176 St Nicholas Ave in Brooklyn. Luma's event page lists 41 attendees once the event had passed. The Skint, the free-and-cheap New York events listing, also included the party in its roundup for that Friday.

Starbase NYC describes the series as a monthly meetup. Timed for Halloween, this one gave local fans a casual place to meet. For Japanese readers who follow the franchise, it shows the kind of small community events that Star Trek fans organize in New York.
