The Toronto Burlesque Festival returns November 12th–15th, 2026 to the iconic Buddies in Bad Times Theatre—inviting you into REVERIE, a world beyond the ordinary.

An escape from the mundane.
A dream embodied.
A gilded invitation to imagine something more.

Whether you're a seasoned burlesque aficionado or a first-time attendee, this year’s festival offers a transportive journey through world-class burlesque, cabaret, and drag, featuring artists from Toronto, across Canada, and around the globe.

With FOUR DISTINCT SHOWS of dazzling, dreamlike entertainment, each performance invites you deeper into a realm of fantasy, glamour, rebellion, and transformation.

Here, we do not simply watch.
We dazzle
We transform.
We remember what it means to feel decadent, daring, and deliciously alive.
