    4th of July fly over
    J. 'n A. H.

    The 4th of July at the Starlight Bowl is amazing!! .. They also have fun tribute bands like the Fab Four and Yachtley Crew. These events sell out quickly. A great place to have a picnic and enjoy the out doors with live music.

    I went here finally for a concert some really old group from the old New Wave/Euro Disco days.... It's a nice venue kind of old and you can tell....parking is hectic and the idiot in the parking lot really ticked me off first he guides me to a space and he saw me parking....than he said that I parked wrong because i'm taking too many spaces....i was like WTF dude you saw me and didn't tell me til I was getting out! At the same time there was a concrete block right in front of where he wanted me to park i said so basically when I leave I have to wait for people behind me to leave unlike others could leave when the car in front of them leaves....So I backed all the way out and parked behind another car that had room to leave in front.... Lots of area to eat and hangout prior to going in.... There was a funnel going in because they weren't really that great at organizing a line and having security check in an organized manner.... Either way got in and it was fun...seating is done well enough I think people can easily watch/listen/dance or do whatever they do at concerts.... I was able to wrangle my way down to the front of the stage to meetup with some friends but it was difficult getting back up to fight the crowd.... overall...not bad....

    I loved it here but sadly I only went here once and it was a exciting day for me. My high school graduation was here and it was 2003!!! I do remember it very clean and organized. Show up in style and take a helicopter. Across the street is a landing strip with 3 available pads. Don't show up in a limousine; try something awesome.

    How did I not know about this place?!? I've lived in SFV for years and did not know this little gem existed until last night. Picture a smaller scale Hollywood Bowl tucked away in a residential neighborhood in Burbank at Stough Park. You can see Castaways restaurant perched above from the park. Show: A summer night under the stars, came to see the Fab Four who were fabulous. They sang Beatles hits with costume changes to fit the era. "Paul" had an amazing voice and the rest of the band was great. Tickets and parking: Purchased tickets online for $15 each + a small service fee. Tickets are emailed from itsmyseat.com and must be printed. Parking was $10 for this event, but seems that fluctuates based on other reviews. It's stacked parking on a gravel lot but got super lucky where I wasn't blocked in. Picnic area: There are limited picnic tables outside across the parking lot but plenty of grassy area to lay down a blanket for a picnic. There's restrooms in the picnic area - women's restroom has two stalls but seemed like they run out of toilet paper. Drinks & Food: We were able to bring food & beverages inside the bowl, but alcohol needed to be purchased inside for this event. People were enjoying wine they brought and other libations outside in the picnic area. Final thoughts: If you bought tickets for seats, bring a seat cushion and/or a blanket and enjoy live performances under the stars. I missed live music during the pandemic lockdown and this was an awesome show & venue to go to. Looking forward to returning. I saw ppl who had lawn tickets carry their lawn chairs. Kids to grandparents and everyone in between were there enjoying the music & FREEDOM of being out. We're so blessed to be living in SoCal.

    I absolutely LOVE this place and would give it a full 5 stars but for the fact that this summer the venue began to employ "summer program" personnel to staff events. The individuals selected lack the professionalism and the maturity to do the jobs required of them. I strongly recommend that they return to a mix of volunteers and paid staff. One of the staff (pictured here) was engaged in particularly inappropriate and filthy behavior that was reported to his supervisor. I've already also reported him to Burbank Parks & Rec., law enforcement and other potentially "interested" authorities. Other than that, the food, entertainment and ambiance are all spectacular!!! Kudos, Burbank Parks & Rec. for running such an outstanding operation.

    Englebert Humperdink was awesome! This venue was well situated and seating was very comfortable. He magically transported me back to my youth, reminding me of every long lost love, my tears were flowing, I knew all the words, the acoustics were perfect. He was very personable and a great storyteller, it felt like we were all in his living room. He is a great showman still to this day. It was my first time here and it was impressive.

    Nice, intimate venue with great acoustics but you have to be part billy goat to get in there. Up hill from the parking lot, up to the check in and up again when you get inside. Lyft didn't help because they have to drop you off at the bottom of the hill. We waited for over half hour for the shuttle and it didn't show up. The people working there didn't offer much help. Pretty clueless. All seats are great and there is a grass area that you can bring blankets and chairs. Read on Yelp that those seats are free or super cheap (not sure which). We had box seats which were super comfortable and roomy. You can bring you own food/drinks or buy food/drinks there. They have cover bands on the weekends all summer. Worth going but be ready to walk/climb.

    The box includes a small table plus some wine.

    Took my parents to a concert & we all loved it!! The venue is nice & cozy!! We got a table for 4 & luckily we had great neighbors cause every box has 8 seats, 4 for you & 4 for them & if you get there late & greedy ppl show up b4 you they will take over all the space. Luckily for us they took half the box & we all had a great time. We were allowed to take a small cooler & food so that was helpful. The weather was so hot but somehow everything was shaded by the time the concert started, I would recommend this place 1000%!! Only bad thing is the parking, they park everyone back to back & if you have to leave you might not be able to cause your parked between other ppl.

    Need these!

    ***WEAR COMFORTABLE SHOES*** A co worker was not able to attend the Air Supply concert and gifted us his front row seat tickets. *Score!* Boy am I happy we went... but let's get into the important stuff *LOCATION: The way up to the venue is through the neighborhood way up the hill *BRIGHT SIDE: Beautiful view **location not ideal for people who can't get around very well*** *PARKING: don't bother getting a car wash because the parking lot is all dusty dirt. Also, its "Stacked parking" which means you need to wait until the cars surrounding yours need to move first before you can get out. *SOLUTION: Show up a early and park along the ends over by the exit Go with plenty of time, an open mind, and patience!!! There are buses taking people (probably up and down the hill) but I have no idea how that works. Also. They're dropped off near the bathrooms not up to where the stage or seating are *ALCOHOL: "Special events" = you can't bring your own. They sell wine and beer there. Expect to pay $16 for some soda wine or whatever THAT was (ugh).** If the event isn't on the website calendar it's a special event ** *SOLUTION: Some people get very creative. They do a quick "search" of what you're bringing in at security but not thorough by any means. Very bring your own goodies friendly *wink, wink* *DRESS CODE: Ladies, dress cute but comfortable. I would absolutely not recommend high heels. The hill is STEEP!!! If you must either wear small wedges or bring a pair of sandals. It gets a little balmy and dewy at night. Especially on the grassy area. *KIDS: Totally family friendly because there is a grassy are where they can freely play in. Please be respectful and make sure they aren't running over other people's picnic blankets or hitting chairs. *CHAIRS: Nobody is going to confiscate your soccer mom chair but honestly, the low back chair is way more comfortable. You will end up wanting to sit on the edges because that's the only place your high back chair won't feel like it's falling forward. *BETTER SOLUTION: Bring a thick blanket and sit on the grass. You're going to stand a lot to dance and cheer anyway right? Or.. the bathroom!! *RESTROOMS: There's- of course- a line! Always a line! It's located way at the bottom of the hill behind the refreshment stand. I'm telling you, don't wear anything uncomfortable, you'll be sorry. *FOOD: Some provided here. Bring your own if you can. *there are several picnic areas provided *BETTER SOLUTION: Get to Burbank early and have dinner at any one of their awesome restaurants and then just bring grapes, nuts, or a bag of chips Again, this is not great if you can't climb a little. There really aren't any "bad" seats. It's intimate with beautiful acoustics. It really is a hidden treasure Smoking area way at the bottom entrance if you need that. Come early, comfortable, bring goodies, and be patient. It's quirky here but oh so lovely!

    Where is the Parking?

    It's around 100 feet from the entrance. You'll have to get up a small uphill walkway- it's a little steep for anyone disabled or severely out of shape, but it's a 50 foot uphill walk. Parking might be stacked depending on the event. It's on gravel… Read more

    Is there free parking?

    No- have $20 out and ready to pay

    If you have a loge seat, do you need to bring your own chair?

    Hi. Thanks for asking. Loge boxes come with chairs. Have a good time.

    Can we bring in wine to the Air Supply show this Friday 8/16/19?

    Are cameras allowed?

    You can take pictures with your cell phone but no professional cameras or ones with interchangeable lenses.

    Is it bench or individual seating in Sections A, B, C?

    It is bench seating. The boxes are the only individual seats.

    Can you bring your own alcohol and water?

    For Starlight Bowl events you can bring your own alcohol, but not for special engagements. As far as I know you can bring food/water any time.

    Hello l! I have a 4 year and am bringing him to his first concert at the Starlight tonight. However we are concerned about stacked parking. If we need to leave are there options? Is there off-site parking available with a shuttle? Thank you!

    Hi Maxwell, Tonight is going to be stacked parking, we are almost sold out. The area does not have any off-site parking. I suggest Uber or Lyft if you want to leave early. Thank you. Have fun.

When I call on the phone, nothing happens; not even a ring (I have tried multiple times). The web site says that the open/closed sign in their home page indicates whether someone is there but it does not; it seems to be stuck on "Open". The Contact page in the web site does not work; nothing happens when I click the link. So I drove there, since the open/closed sign in the web site said they are open and I did not know that the sign does not work. At the front door the mail box is full of mail (on a Saturday evening) so no one is getting the mail. There are multiple package delivery attempt notifications on the front door. Those are the facts. My impression is that the club is in trouble from inactivity.

The theater itself has a very bare-bones, pure theater feel which I never imagined existed out in tinsel town. I have never been happier to be wrong. Last night, I had the pleasure of attending a performance of Hamlet. The cast was completely solid, lead by Christopher Karbo taking on perhaps the most difficult character in literature and making it look easy. He commands the stage with such a strong presence; during his performance of each soliloquy it felt like an intimate friend taking each individual audience member aside and really having a heart-to-heart with them. It felt so raw, and true. Eric Castro and Mary Carrig give excellent supporting performances. Each line was delivered with such passion. It was absolutely a fantastic show, and a great way to return to watching theater performances on a personal note.

A slightly positive in that most games were priced reasonably for current standards at $3-5 ea play. The lines for the rides were all very lengthy and doubt you could really get your money's worth from the unlimited ride wristband. Otherwise each ride would cost from $6 and up. The food selection was average though with plenty of varied options. While I do like to support the local community when I can, not sure I would attend this again next year with the decrease in carnival type atmosphere and seemingly more of a pocketbook stretcher to get any fun out of this fair.

This used to be a YMCA but it looks like an old church with dark wood flooring, high ceilings and stained glass windows. A very cool venue. How did it sound? Loud. Extremely loud. They also had a huge video board which gave each band a little extra hot sauce. There were a couple of bars in the back and you could also order food.
