Jennifer Wilson · 2026-08-13

The 34th Annual NightMoves Awards Show Weekend is set to take over Tampa Bay, Florida, from October 8-11, 2026. This isn't your typical awards ceremony—it's a four-day extravaganza that brings together over 40 of the biggest names in adult entertainment for club appearances, dance contests, and the legendary awards show itself. If you're a fan of adult films or feature entertainment, this is the weekend you've been waiting for. ### A Star-Studded Lineup The list of appearing stars reads like a who's who of the industry. Confirmed attendees include Little Puck, Angel Dark, Jezabel Vessir, Katie Kinz, Bree Brooks, Jessica Aaren, Gia Vendetti, Stephanie Love, Tyler Faith, Karter Foxx, Sofia Zaragoza, Poppy Cox, Taylor Nicole, Jillian Janson, Melony Melons, Lauren Phillips, Flynt Dominick, Connor Coxxx, and Dirty Bob. That's a lot of talent in one place. Paul Allen, the owner of NightMoves, also announced that Ivan will be inducted into the NightMoves Hall of Fame this year. It's a well-deserved honor for someone who's clearly made a mark on the industry. ### Where to Catch the Stars The stars will be split into two groups and will hit some of Tampa's most iconic venues. Here's the schedule: - **Thursday, October 8:** The Red Room and Mons Venus - **Friday, October 9:** Crazy Girls and Bare Assets - **Saturday, October 10:** Silks Adult Entertainment and 2001 Odyssey - **Sunday, October 11:** The Awards Show at The Stockyard That's a lot of ground to cover, but if you're dedicated, you can catch your favorites at multiple stops. ### The $5,000 Showgirl Invitational One of the weekend's highlights is the 8th Annual $5,000 Showgirl Invitational Dance Contest. This year's competitors include Bunny Bambina, Caitlin Baby, Farley Lynn, Ginger WTFA, Janine Jericho, Koyotee J. VonDiva, Nia Nebula, and Phoenix Phires. DJ Moss will be back for the third straight year to keep the energy high all night long. With $5,000 on the line, you can bet these dancers will bring their A-game. ### More Than Just an Awards Show NightMoves isn't just about the glitz and glamour—it's a fan-driven event. In fact, NightMoves was the first awards show in the world to let fans pick the winners, and it was also the first to allow online voting. That's a pretty big deal, and it's why the event has such a loyal following. If you want to vote for your favorite performers, directors, films, or feature dancers, head to the official NightMoves website. The voting period runs from July 15 to September 1, so you still have time to make your voice heard. Just remember: only one vote per IP address, and you need to vote in at least six categories for your ballot to count. ### A Legacy That Speaks for Itself NightMoves Magazine has been around since 1988, making it the longest-running adult publication in the US. The awards show itself started in 1993 and is the oldest continuously running adult awards show in the country. That's a legacy worth celebrating. ### How to Get Involved Whether you're a fan or an industry professional, there are plenty of ways to get involved. For sponsorship opportunities or more information, you can reach out to Tracy Allen or Paul Allen directly. Paul is also open to interview requests, so if you're in the media, don't hesitate to reach out. So mark your calendars, book your flights, and get ready for a weekend you won't forget. Tampa is about to get a whole lot wilder.
