Atlantic Burlesque Festival

Details

Get out your boas, gloves, and fans! The inaugural Atlantic Burlesque Festival is set for
May 17th – 18th, 2024 in Halifax!

The Atlantic Burlesque Co-operative in partnership with
Neptune Theatre will be presenting this exciting festival on Neptune Theatre’s Scotiabank
Studio Stage for two nights of stunning showcases featuring performers from across Canada, as
well as other events such as community mixers, workshops and panels.

Headlining the Atlantic Burlesque Festival are Canadian Icon and Burlesque Legend
Judith Stein and Montreal Draglesque powerhouse Miami Minx.

Burlesque has a deep and vibrant history in Halifax, so we are thrilled to launch this new annual
event in this city. This new venture aims to shine a spotlight on the incredible talent of burlesque
performers who are creating work and based in Atlantic Canada, while showing national artists
that the Atlantic provinces are a performance destination.

If you are a burlesque superfan, burly-curious, or have never been to a burlesque show, this
two-night festival is the place to be! We promise: it’s everything you could want, and everything
you didn’t know you needed. *Wink, wink. Nudge, nudge.*
