Things to Do in Burbank After the Studio Tours

While Burbank’s primary attraction may be the studio tours, there is still plenty to do in a city that was built by “people, pride, and progress.” Let’s start by reviewing the downtown area of Burbank. Here, right along San Fernando Blvd and Magnolia you can find a variety of malls, shopping centers, restaurants and entertainment centers along a tree-shaded path. There is also a lively pedestrian walk along the way and lots of free parking.

There is also plenty to see at the Starlight Bowl 2010 venue found on Lockheed View Drive. The Starlight Bowl hosts many concerts and live events throughout the year and offers stadium seating. In August, guests can look forward to Berlin and the Spazmatics Concert. Also in August is the 7th Annual “Come Out & Dance!” summer music festival. This will be held at San Fernando Boulevard at Palm Avenue. This summer there will be eight nights of dance entertainment. For the month of August guests can look forward to Orquesta Charangoa and Cuban Salsa style, Ronnie Gutierrez and Puerto Rican/Brazilian, Yari Moré Y Su Orquesta and Pete Escovedo Orchestra and his Latin Jazz.

In November, visitors can catch the CTN Animation Expo, which is a celebration of animation art, both digital and hand-animated. This celebration is found on North Hollywood Way. The event helps to promote animation, education, film and video. There are also a variety of plays, musicals and live events that tour across the summer and autumn seasons, including past hits like Chips: the Musical, Fever! and Element Band and Mariachi Divas Concert. If you like singing and dancing you can’t miss this event!

There is plenty to do in Burbank even after all the studios have closed. Come experience the spectacle of the city, a city often called the “media capital of the world.” Burbank is a city fueled by the entertainment industry!
