Why I Love Burbank: A Local’s Guide to Relaxing and Exploring Around My Spa
As someone who’s lived and worked in Burbank for years, I can honestly say this city holds a special place in my heart. It’s not just where I run my spa—it’s where community, creativity, and relaxation come together. Whether you’re coming in for a waxing, a spray tan, or a skin-refreshing treatment at my downtown Burbank spa, there’s plenty to do before or after your appointment that will make your visit even more enjoyable.
🌿 Start Your Saturday with the Burbank Farmers Market
Every Saturday from 8 AM to 12 PM, the Burbank Farmers Market brings downtown to life. Located just a short stroll from my spa, this nonprofit market is a must-visit for fresh, certified California-grown produce straight from local family farms. Celebrating 40 years and benefiting the Providence Saint Joseph Hospital Foundation, this community event is a Burbank staple.

💡 Tip: Book your morning wax or facial, then walk over to the market and treat yourself to something seasonal and delicious.
🎨 End Your Week at the Burbank Cultural Market
Looking for a fun, family-friendly night out? The Burbank Cultural Market transforms downtown into a celebration of music, food, and local small businesses. Held every weekend:
-
Fridays & Saturdays: 5:00 PM – 10:00 PM
-
Sundays: 3:00 PM – 8:00 PM

🎭 Laugh the Night Away at Flappers Comedy Club
Right around the corner from my spa at 102 E Magnolia Blvd, Flappers Comedy Club is a Burbank gem. They host over 40 comedy shows a week, featuring everyone from up-and-coming talent to big names like Kevin Hart and Jerry Seinfeld. It’s also the home of the annual Burbank Comedy Festival, which lights up the city every summer.
💡 Tip: Unwind with a wax or facial, grab dinner nearby, and end the evening with laughs at Flappers—it’s the ultimate self-care combo.
