More than two dozen announced performers and showgirl competitors are headed to Tampa Bay for four nights of club appearances, fan events and the October 11 awards show.
The NightMoves Awards are preparing to take over Tampa Bay again, and the organization has begun naming the performers and feature entertainers scheduled to appear during its 34th annual awards weekend, running October 8–11, 2026.
Unlike a conventional awards ceremony built around a single red carpet and one long night, NightMoves spreads the action across the region. Two star caravans will make club appearances Thursday through Saturday before everyone converges on The Stockyard in Holiday, Florida, for Sunday night’s awards show. It is part ceremony, part road show and part Tampa Bay tradition—a format NightMoves has spent more than three decades making unmistakably its own.
The first announced group includes 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. NightMoves owner Paul Allen also announced that Ivan will be inducted into the organization’s Hall of Fame.
“We have an amazing group of stars scheduled to appear this year,” Allen said before listing the announced guests and confirming Ivan’s Hall of Fame induction.
The weekend will also feature the eighth annual $5,000 Showgirl Invitational Dance Contest. The announced field includes Bunny Bambina, Caitlin Baby, Farley Lynn, Ginger WTFA, Janine Jericho, Koyotee J. VonDiva, Nia Nebula and Phoenix Phires, with DJ Moss returning for a third consecutive year.
Thursday’s caravans are scheduled for The Red Room and Mons Venus. Friday’s supplied release names Crazy Girls and Bare Assets, although NightMoves’ online schedule still shows one Friday location as pending. Saturday moves to Silks Adult Entertainment and 2001 Odyssey. The awards show is scheduled from 7 p.m. to midnight Sunday, October 11, at The Stockyard.
Fan and industry voting remains open through September 1 at NightMoves.xxx. Only one vote is allowed per IP address, and a valid ballot must include selections in at least six categories. The national ballot covers performers, directors and releases, while Tampa Bay voters can also weigh in on local clubs, entertainers, bartenders and DJs.
NightMoves Magazine became a stand-alone publication in 1988, and the first NightMoves Awards were held in 1993. That history gives the weekend something more valuable than novelty: continuity. The clubs, names and venues evolve, but the fan-voted celebration remains one of the adult industry’s most durable annual gatherings.
