November, 2026

​​

This year marks the fifth edition of the Dutch Burlesque Festival, lighting up Utrecht in The Netherlands with an inclusive celebration of burlesque. We are not a competition—we believe in community—and our stage bursts with variety, from dazzling high-glam to delightfully quirky acts. Performers from around the world, of all shapes and sizes, are warmly welcome.

 

Applications open February 1, 2026, are free until February 7, and close on May 1— the festival takes place in November, let’s make it magical!
