Vivid Cabaret New York will kick off the holiday season with its “Naughty North Pole” dance competition on Thursday, December 4 at 9 p.m., bringing back one of the club’s most popular annual events.

The high-energy midtown venue, known for its party atmosphere and the tallest stripper pole in the city, is preparing for a night built around athletic stage performances, audience participation, and cash prizes.

The competition will take place on Vivid’s signature 28-foot main stage pole, a feature that has become central to the club’s identity. The event invites dancers to showcase aerial routines that are as physically demanding as they are flashy. Audience response will help determine the winners, a tradition that ensures the crowd plays an active role throughout the night.

“It’s always exciting at Vivid with so many hot girls who love to perform,” said Vivid girl Roxanne, noting that the contest tends to draw packed rooms and high energy. Bridget, another Vivid performer, said the club’s towering pole adds an extra thrill to watching the competition unfold. “It’s thrilling watching the girls climb the giant pole and there are always sports guys in the audience—they appreciate the girls for their athletic skills. I just like looking at their bodies. Haha,” she said.

The club will offer bottle and drink specials during the event, which is expected to attract regulars, newcomers, and visitors who stop in specifically for the holiday-themed showcase. Vivid Cabaret’s multi-level layout includes a VIP wrap-around balcony, a Roof Top Cigar Bar, and a discreet VIP Ultra Lounge that is frequently visited by celebrities, athletes, and business figures.

Located at 61 West 37th Street, Vivid Cabaret features multiple stages, private luxury suites, and a full food menu. The club is the sister venue of Rick’s Cabaret NYC and has become a regular stop for nightlife fans who want a mix of performance-driven entertainment and upscale amenities.

The “Naughty North Pole” competition is open to the public, and the club encourages attendees to arrive early for the best views. Organizers say the event will set the tone for the rest of Vivid’s holiday programming.
