For our 10th anniversary the Festival is celebrating “10 Years of Love and Lust” and our main stage production celebrates Everything in Between.

Circus, cabaret, burlesque, dance, music, madness and mayhem… and an immense spider web… make this an unforgettable performance you won’t want to miss.

In addition, the Festival has special performance highlights throughout both weekends. (Though note that most performance is occurring only during the grand finale second weekend.)

The Stunning Spider Web: Le Petit Piege

A centerpiece of Everything in Between will be our 40 ft wide by 20 ft tall bondage/aerial spider web, Le Petit Piège, built especially for the Festival.

Spider web aerial performances are choreographed by Aerialista star Elizabeth Rose, and will be the dazzling opening act of Everything in Between.

Spider web bondage performances are curated by rope expert Griffin and will occur almost every day throughout the Festival.

The duo is known for drawing fans into a world where the libido is celebrated and satirized, through a lively blend of original songs, audience interaction, spankings, singalongs and more…

Not only are they busy producing original music for (and performing in) the Festival’s greatly anticipated main stage performance show… but they are also producing an irresistible event mid-week to celebrate a new run of SHINE: A Burlesque Musical.
