City of Oakland
NBA All-Star Weekend 2025
Welcome to Oakland, the Heart of Basketball
On behalf of the City of Oakland, it is my great honor to welcome the NBA All-Star Games to our incredible city. Oakland is a place where basketball runs deep—where generations of fans have packed the stands, where legends have been made, and where the game is more than just a sport—it’s part of who we are.
As the world’s best players take the court, we’re excited to showcase not only elite competition but also the heart and soul of Oakland. Our city is a hub of culture, resilience, and community, and we know that visiting fans, players, and media will experience firsthand the passion that makes Oakland one of the greatest basketball cities in the world.
This All-Star Weekend is more than just a celebration of the game—it’s an opportunity to bring people together, inspire the next generation, and give back to the communities that make this sport what it is. Oakland is ready to deliver an unforgettable experience, from our thriving downtown to our diverse neighborhoods, from the beats of our local artists to the energy of our fans.
To the NBA, its players, and the thousands of visitors joining us, welcome to Oakland. We are proud to host this historic event and show the world what our city is all about.
Sincerely,
Kevin Jenkins
Mayor of Oakland
