About

THE 4th ANNUAL INTERNATIONAL BOOKLOVER'S BURLESQUE FESTIVAL 

Four days, three venues and over 50 different performers from around the world will entertain, excite and inspire you at this one-of-a-kind festival. Each show will feature specially-curated burlesque, boylesque, and draglesque acts chosen for our festival from around the globe with readings from performing artists, writers, professional actors/readers. Our shows celebrate all bodies and are sex and LGBTQIA+/queer positive, feminist, diverse, and inclusive to all. 

 

The International Booklover's Burlesque Festival is an annual celebration of literary and performing arts, highlighting burlesque, boylesque, and draglesque artists from around the world with some of your favorite literary pieces and some you have never heard before. Our four-day festival takes place in Portland and Salem, Oregon USA at multiple locations, including two main "open-themed" MAJESTIC SHOWCASES celebrating all genres of the written word at the historic Alberta Rose Theatre, our exclusive COZY CLASSICS burlesque brunch show at the Victorian Belle Mansion, and our Opening Night MYTHS & LEGENDS SPECTACULAR in Salem at the Historic Grand Theater. 

 

Our festival features different acts and performers for every show, including world-renowned "Guests of Honor," performing artists and authors, professional actors/readers, and specially-curated burlesque, boylesque, and draglesque acts. Each show is entirely different, with different casts and acts, so audience members should buy a separate tickets for each day. 

 

Come join us for every show of this our unique, 4th annual festival on April 9-12, 2026! Tickets for all shows now available!
