Helsinki Burlesque Festival, Annual burlesque arts festival in Helsinki, Finland
The Helsinki Burlesque Festival featured international and local performers presenting dance, music, and theatrical entertainment at Culture Arena Gloria each February.
Founded in 2008 by the Hulapirates Team, including Bettie Blackheart and Frank Doggenstein, the festival ran successfully for a decade until its final edition in 2017.
The festival brought together performers and artists who explored themes of empowerment and self-expression through traditional and contemporary burlesque performances.
The festival program extended over two weekends, offering drawing classes, workshops for aspiring performers, and exhibitions across multiple venues in Helsinki.
Each edition featured different international headliners, including Satan's Angel in 2010, who performed alongside Finnish artists in elaborately themed productions.
