Eighth edition of our festival, taking place 13th to 17th of November 2024 is set to be another record breaker. Our 4th evening show added last year, Wednesday night opening in Ostrava was a success so it is coming back again as a new staple.
Rest of the programme follows the format set up from the start of our event in 2016. On Thursday we meet in our home city bastion of Brno in new venue Klub První Patro. Friday gala night in Prague will also be in a new venue, lovely historic ballroom of Belvedere Hotel. Saturday market and Queen night will take place in our traditional venue, Autoklub of Czech Republic, where we return for fourth year.
We have 77 performers coming from 19 countries to entertain you across 5 events in three cities and we are very proud of all of them coming to share their art here. Some of them come from as far as USA, Canada or Australia. On top of 16 local performers, the biggest contingent this year goes to Italy with 12 representatives. With our festival we foster new friendships and unique artictic networking enviroment in the varied European burlesque industry.
This year our set of headliners and guests is particularly multi-award winning .
