The New Mexico Burlesque Festival continues a long legacy of burlesque brilliance in Albuquerque! As the successor to the Southwest Burlesque Showcase, we have blossomed into a three-night spectacle of feathers and fanfare, gemstones and geniality, attracting performers and fans from across the country.

Over the years, our festival has been a stage for local legends and international stars alike. From jaw-dropping routines to show-stopping costumes, we’ve seen it all, and we keep raising the bar (and the hemlines) every year!

Named NM Entertainment’s Top Annual Event of 2025, we’re proud to be the go-to destination for anyone looking to soak up the most vibrant, inclusive, and downright fun entertainment in the Southwest. Held annually in February, at the historic KiMo Theatre, we love to be an important part of your Valentine’s celebrations!
