change. Check any links beforehand for last minute schedule changes and

There are a
large number of annual burlesque related events in New York worth noting:
Burlesque at the Beach; the Coney Island Mermaid Parade (June); Coney Island
Rockabilly Festival; and, of course, the New York
Burlesque Festival. Aside from the big national events such as the
Burlesque Hall of Fame Weekend in Las Vegas and Tease-O-Rama, there are a
growing number of regional multiday festivals in the US and Canada. For a
partial listing, click here for Brooklyn Ed’s Burlesque Festival Calendar. You can also check out the
Festivals listings from Maxwell
