It's the quickest way to get up to date on what's happening this year!
I'm providing the list linked above, which names burlesque festivals with links to their websites so you can get every available detail.
Most burlesque festivals take applications for performers several months before their event.

Burlesque festivals are the best way to see as many burlesque performers as possible in a short time.
They often feature social events, workshops and special burlesque bazaars as well as shows.
When you're starting out it can be expensive to travel to perform and attend, so start out by going to the ones nearest to you!
Because of my decades of experience traveling to perform and headlining and producing big events, I've been asked repeatedly for my advice on how to do a good application for a burlesque festival.
