Why It Feels Like Munich
Burbank’s historic downtown, with its red‑brick storefronts, beer‑garden‑style patios and leafy avenues, evokes Munich’s Altstadt. The annual “Oktoberfest Burbank” celebration, complete with pretzels and brass bands, reinforces the Bavarian feel, while nearby studio backlots add a cinematic twist to the traditional market square atmosphere.
