Thirsty Girl & Pontani Productions Present The 18th Annual Virtual New York Burlesque Festival

The New York Burlesque Festival is the largest and most acclaimed festival of its kind! It has attracted sold-out crowds since it's 2003 premiere.

This October marks the 18th year for this celebrated event, and producers, Thirsty Girl & Pontani Productions are taking the show online and keeping everyone safely entertained with a virtual festival sure to pep up your parlor!

They'll be serving up 4 days and nights of entertainment that will feature some of your favorite Burlesque Superstars from all over the globe with three stellar shows that will be premiering on the new burlesque-centric website and platform, BurlesqueGalaxy.com!

Plus you can enjoy live classes where you'll learn how to bump with a boa, pull off a glove and even make a fabulous burlesque video- all in the privacy of your own home! We are also offering a stroll down memory lane complete with a Q&A with burlesque legend Stephanie Blake Q&A as well as a Happy Hour Au Revoir Bingo Party as our final event on Sunday.

While the party may have relocated (to your house), they are going to celebrate in style with a cast of international superstars.
