Queen City Burlesque Expo offers an award-winning event of vaudeville and burlesque entertainment. A four-day experience for Expo attendees with two nights of exquisite, world-class performances featuring world-renowned professionals in the ancient art of the tease. Proudly partnering with three international festivals, Queen City Expo features reigning monarchs from Imperial Burlesque Canada (Montreal), What the Funk?! Festival (Seattle), and SHADE (Victoria), plus invited notable guest headliners and Canadian Icons.
Recognized within the burlesque industry as a “go-to event,” the Expo is equally applauded by local businesses and audience goers.
In 2026 the Expo is excited to present the Friday night showcase at the Castle Theatre in Castlegar, BC and the Saturday night showcase in collaboration with Charles Bailey Theatre in Trail, BC.
