Colorado Burlesque Festival 2026
The Colorado Burlesque Festival (CBF) 2026 runs July 16‑18 in Denver, offering three days of diverse live entertainment. Day 1 (Opening Night Gala) blends burlesque with drag, aerial, circus acts, pole dancing, and comedy. Day 2 (VIP Showcase) celebrates burlesque’s humorous, bawdy history, featuring classic and neo‑burlesque stars. Day 3 (Spectacular) showcases international performers in a high‑energy main event.

A tribute to Colorado legend Gail "The Original Twister" Winns honors local burlesque heritage. The program aims for inclusive, progressive, and mindful experiences for both seasoned fans and newcomers.
