STAR TREK TO TRANSFORM SAN DIEGO INTO A STAGE WITH A “STRANGE NEW SPECTACLE” SURPRISE IMMERSIVE PERFORMANCES ON JULY 26 IN THE GASLAMP QUARTER

STAR TREK is about to boldly go where no fan event has gone before. To celebrate the launch of Season 3 of STAR TREK: STRANGE NEW WORLDS, which premiered July 17 on Paramount+, “out of this world” dancers and performers dressed as the U.S.S. Enterprise crew are beaming down onto the streets of San Diego with a show-stopping spectacle.

On Saturday, July 26, the Gaslamp Quarter will transform into a living stage, as fans journey through five immersive, “strange new worlds” inspired by this season’s genre-bending episodes: a noir murder mystery, a zombie horror, a 60s retro mission, a Vulcan wedding, and plenty of sci-fi mayhem. This bold, live performance, created by JFI Productions and their performers, is more than an exhibition, it is a chance to step into the story. Star Trek performances will be popping up at the Interactive Zone at Petco Park between 3:00 and 4:00pm and outside the Paramount+ Lodge at Happy Does (340 Fifth Ave) between 6:00 and 8:00pm. Follow @StarTrek social handles to learn about additional performance locations.  

This exciting activation will follow the “Star Trek” Universe panel, featuring exclusive back-to-back conversations with the cast and executive producers from the Paramount + Original STAR TREK: STRANGE NEW WORLDS and the upcoming new series STAR TREK: STARFLEET ACADEMY. Plus, exclusive first looks, reveals and surprises! Moderated by “Star Trek” legend Robert Picardo. Saturday, July 26, 12:30-2:00 PM, PT, Hall H

“This performance is a love letter to STAR TREK: STRANGE NEW WORLDS, a high-energy celebration that honors the heart of the series while exploring the edges of genre. Whether you're here for the sci-fi, the drama, the adventure, or just the sheer joy of it all, there’s something in this for you,” said Stephanie Turek, Creative Director and Choreographer of JFI Productions.

New to the franchise or a seasoned Starfleet captain, prepare for a memorable moment anyone can enjoy. Go beyond watching STAR TREK; this is your chance to experience it. 

The first two seasons of STAR TREK: STRANGE NEW WORLDS are now streaming on Paramount+. New episodes of Season 3 drop every Thursday through September 11.

Following SXSW, The Lodge took over the exhibition floor at VidCon in Anaheim, CA, with guests stepping inside the world of their favorite YA and kids’ entertainment titles.

 

●      Transformers: Rise of the Beasts: Visit Energon Station to replenish your energy and unleash your inner beast with some tantalizing PRIMAL BREW (cold brew) and AUTOBOT TEA (iced tea).

●      Good Burger 2: Munch on delicious tray pass sliders from the classic Good Burger counter.

●      SpongeBob SquarePants: Take a trip under the sea to Bikini Bottom and visit The Krusty Krab. While at the iconic restaurant, grab a seat at the boat set for an underwater selfie photo moment.

●      Special Ops: Lioness: Crime awaits in the CIA safe house, where guests will be asked a series of “tests” matching with one of the three female archetypes. Fans will then receive a card with a character-match write-up and tune-in info. For guests passing by, the space features a spycraft wall where consumers can discover secrets.

●      Star Trek: Returning by popular demand, Star Trek’s Caricature Studios welcomes guests to take a seat at one of three rock thrones where artists will sketch visitors as their own Trek character. While at each studio, guests can select from a menu of preset characteristics adding details like uniform weapons, specialty alien-race touches, skin tone, etc.

●      1923: Discover a hidden speakeasy where you’ll find yourself in the Silver Dollar Soda Shop. Step inside and order a glass bottled root beer or a specialty cocktail within the existing nook. With a tasty beverage in hand, guests can then take a seat in the 1923 portrait studio for a vintage-style photo moment.

●      CBS Sports: Reimagine the iconic CBS Sports desk with a winter twist celebrating all sports, all the time. While walking around, take a peek at the CBS Sports “Hall of Fame” memorabilia wall, including items from NFL, UEFA & NWSL (San Diego Wave FC), and play a friendly game of shuffleboard.
