THE FESTIVAL

The first HAMBURG BURLESQUE FESTIVAL took place in March 2017. It was a huge success from the first day on. Since then we have constantly built up a very good reputation in the international burlesque scene and industry.

Performers love Hamburg and they love the HBF. Every year we have had more than 120 applications.

We always make sure to choose the best artists and the largest variety of all different kinds of burlesque, as well as other artistic show-acts and performance arts.
