  • We’re taking a different approach with the Oregon Burlesque Festival this year, one with a deep intention of celebrating this Festival, the artform, and our community. Rather than holding open applications, we’re inviting a few past performers to participate in a two-day curated show. This year our Friday and Saturday night shows won’t feature a competition; instead, they’ll showcase two incredible nights of the Festival’s most iconic burlesque performers and one special award presentation.
  • Accepted performances not to exceed 5 minutes in length. Full nudity is not allowed. Pasties and merkin or g-string please.
  • You must reply with our selected invitation with the act you wish to perform at the festival and supply ALL technical instructions, set up and props.
  • Glitter is not allowed onstage. No confetti dumps. No excessive food mess.
  • No aerial or fire will be allowed.
  • You will be required to provide a 300DPI picture for promotion upon acceptance.
  • Please be advised the Oregon Burlesque Festival does not provide food or travel, but will attempt to connect you to persons who would like to stay in housing together.
  • A code of conduct will be sent once accepted, failure to adhere to our code of conduct may result in termination from the festival

Invitations to perform for the 2024 festival, will be sent out no later than June 30th.
