Josh McBride's Annual Bday 2025

Taking center stage and setting the tone ahead of famed New York Fashion Week, TV personality Josh McBride celebrated his annual birthday bash with a star-studded extravaganza that quickly became the weekend’s must-attend event.

On Friday, September 5, 2025, McBride transformed NYC’s HK Hall into a dazzling playground of fashion, music, and celebrity energy. Guests dressed in sleek black and bold pink, the night’s official theme, creating a vibrant sea of style as more than 400 attendees packed the venue. Signature cocktails from Ja Rule’s Amber & Opal and The Baker Company’s Espresso Martinis flowed throughout the night, while Baked by Melissa added a sweet touch with their signature treats.

As the lights dimmed and the stage came alive, powered by DJ Nyce, the evening’s tradition of surprise performances began with Nina Sky, whose electrifying 8:15 p.m. set sent the crowd into full party mode. The energy only built from there when international chart-topper Kevin Lyttle took the stage at 9:15 p.m., delivering his global smash “Turn Me On” alongside other fan favorites that had the crowd singing word for word. By the time R&B superstar Bobby V closed the night with a soulful 10:15 p.m. performance, the venue was buzzing with energy—proving once again that McBride knows how to throw a party that leaves a mark.

The red carpet and dance floor alike were filled with familiar faces from television, music, and pop culture. Peppermint of RuPaul’s Drag Race, Lateshia Pearson of Belle Collective, RIP Micheals of Wild ’N Out, psychic medium Matt Fraser of Meet the Frasers, actor Alex Garfin of Superman and Lois, and Love Is Blind’s Clay Gravesande were among the many personalities spotted celebrating alongside McBride.

Over the years, McBride’s birthday has grown into one of New York’s most buzzed-about annual events. Last year’s celebration at Nebula drew surprise sets from Yung Joc, Lil Mama, Ryan Toby, and Yung Wylin. Past editions have welcomed stars like Ja Rule, Mya, Tiffany Pollard, Teresa Giudice, and Dorinda Medley. With this year’s blowout at HK Hall, McBride raised the bar once again, solidifying his legacy as a host whose parties rival the very best of New York nightlife.
