Welcome
The Great Burlesque Exposition (or "BurlExpo") is an annual (well, mostly annual), multi-day event that brings performers, instructors, special guests, vendors, and aficianados of burlesque from all over the world to Massachusetts. This is our 15th exposition (but not our 15th year. It's complicated...) and our 3rd year in bewitching Salem, MA.
No matter how you're involved in burlesque, we hope you'll join us for three magical days and nights of classes, shows, shopping, community building, and more!
