This has become frowned upon at the ones I’ve been to. The joke wore out it’s welcome after the 100th time and now the people in Star Trek costumes just look like attention seeking assholes breaking everyone else’s immersion

I know of one that has a specific theme weekend for sci-fi for this exact reason. It gets all the Star Trek, Star Wars, Dr Who, and other time traveling costumers to come then, gives them their fun of interacting with other sci-fi fandoms, and keeps the other weekends more or less free of them.

Yep, our local fair literally calls it time travellers' weekend, which turns it into a kind of 'anything goes' weekend functionally. Honestly, one of the best weekends of the year because there are a ton of people having a blast.
