Each year, the ED’s Awards Show celebrates clubs from across the US, and remains the only national awards show dedicated to the adult nightclub industry. Clubs are honored in four regions (East, South, Midwest and West), but there are also “national” awards that honor the top clubs in the US in the “Overall Club of the Year” and “Overall ‘Small’ Club of the Year” categories. These clubs are either previous winners in their region, or have been nominated multiple times over the years.
Here, we’re shining the spotlight on the ED’s Overall Club of the Year nominees for 2024! (Please note: Clubs are listed here in alphabetical order.) You can still vote on these clubs and all of the 2024 ED’s Awards at www.theEDawards.com until 11:59 EST on Wednesday, July 24!
