NBA All-Star Weekend

The National Basketball Association All-Star Weekend is a weekend festival held every February during the middle of the NBA regular season that consists of a variety of basketball events, exhibitions, and performances culminating in the NBA All-Star Game held on Sunday night. No regular season games are held during this period, which is also known as the All-Star break.

The All-Star Game, held on Sunday, is the main event of the weekend. The 2017 game was held at Smoothie King Center in New Orleans, home of the New Orleans Pelicans. The 2018 NBA All-Star Game will be scheduled to be held in Los Angeles, California.

The NBA Jam Session, a "theme park of basketball", has been a part of the All-Star festivities since 1992, with fans able to take part in numerous interactive basketball related activities from Thursday through Monday. The NBA Jam Session is usually targeted to young fans.
