These Stars Are Headed to Tampa for the Wildest Adult Awards Weekend

Sarah Davis · 2026-08-11

The 34th Annual NightMoves Awards Show Weekend is officially on the calendar, and it's shaping up to be the biggest yet. From October 8-11, 2026, Tampa Bay, Florida, will play host to over 40 of the top adult film stars and feature entertainers for four days of club appearances, high-energy performances, and the legendary awards ceremony itself. If you've never experienced NightMoves, there's truly nothing else like it anywhere in the world. This isn't just another industry event. It's a full weekend takeover, with stars splitting into two groups to hit the hottest clubs across the Tampa Bay area. Thursday night kicks things off at The Red Room and Mons Venus. Friday moves the party to Crazy Girls and Bare Assets. Saturday brings the heat to Silks Adult Entertainment and 2001 Odyssey. Then, on Sunday evening, everyone gathers at The Stockyard for the main event: the awards show that fans have been voting on for months. ### A Star-Studded Lineup You Won't Want to Miss Owner Paul Allen has confirmed an incredible roster of talent for this year's festivities. The list includes fan favorites like 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. "We have an amazing group of stars scheduled to appear this year," Allen said. "We will also be installing Ivan into our Hall of Fame this year." That's a huge honor, and it's sure to be a highlight of the weekend. ### The $5,000 Showgirl Invitational Returns For the eighth year running, the Showgirl Invitational Dance Contest is back with a $5,000 grand prize. This year's competitors include Bunny Bambina, Caitlin Baby, Farley Lynn, Ginger WTFA, Janine Jericho, Koyotee J. VonDiva, Nia Nebula, and Phoenix Phires. And for the third consecutive year, DJ Moss will be on the decks, keeping the energy sky-high all night long. This contest is always a crowd favorite, and with that kind of prize money on the line, you can expect these performers to bring their absolute best. ### A Legacy That Started in 1988 NightMoves isn't just another awards show. It's an institution. The magazine was founded in Tampa Bay back in 1988, making it the longest-running adult publication in the United States. The awards show itself has been going strong since 1993, making it the oldest continuously running adult awards ceremony in the country. But what really sets NightMoves apart is that it was the first awards show in the world to let fans pick the winners. That's right — the original fan-based awards. And it was also the first to allow online voting, which opened the door for fans everywhere to have a say. ### How to Cast Your Vote If you want to help decide who takes home the trophies this year, you still have time. Voting runs from July 15th to September 1st. Fans and industry pros can vote for their favorite performers, directors, films, and feature dancers at NightMoves.xxx. Local Tampa Bay folks can also vote for their favorite clubs, video stores, dancers, bartenders, and DJs. Just remember: only one vote per IP address, and your ballot must include votes in at least six categories to count. ### The Sponsors Behind the Magic None of this would be possible without the support of an incredible group of sponsors. This year's NightMoves Awards are brought to you by Fuzzy Peach Productions, Lauren Phillips, Wifey.com, XRCO, Melony Melons, The Lee Network, The Star Factory, AAN.XXX, We Are 321, Coxxx Models, Todd Couples Superstores, Silks Adult Entertainment, Crazy Girls Gentlemen's Club, The Red Room, Bare Assets, Mons Venus, 2001 Odyssey, and The Stockyard. ### Stay Connected and Get More Info Want to keep up with all the NightMoves action?
