A Complete Guide to Every 2025 NBA All-Star Weekend Party & Event (Updating)

The 74th NBA All-Star Game is back in California as basketball’s biggest weekend invades The Bay Area. In addition to the festivities on the court, there are plenty of parties and events taking place the weekend of Feb. 13-16 in San Francisco and Oakland.

It’s the first All-Star Game at the Chase Center, and the first time San Francisco is playing host since 1967. Oakland previously hosted the All-Star Game in 2000, when Shaquille O’Neal and Tim Duncan shared the All-Star Game MVP Award.

The All-Star Celebrity Game is set for Oakland Arena on Friday night, which will be followed by the Rising Stars Game across the bridge in San Francsico.

All-Star Saturday Night calls Chase Bridge home, where Gelo will perform ahead of the 3-Point Content, which features Jalen Brunson, Cade Cunningham, Darius Garland, Tyler Herro, Buddy Hield, Cam Johnson and Norman Powell looking to dethrone two-time defending champion Damian Lillard.

The 74th NBA All-Star Game will feature a new format with three teams drafted up by Inside the NBA hosts Kenny Smith, Charles Barkley and Shaquille O’Neal, who will be coaching their respective squads.

Kevin Hart will serve as the first-ever All-Star Game emcee, while DJ Cassidy will lead a Bay Area edition of Pass the Mic Live! starring E-40, Saweetie, Too $hort, En Vogue and more. Raphael Saadiq is set to perform alongside a 14-piece band as part of a unique player introduction segment.
