Magnolia Park's Holiday in the Park 2026

Holiday in the Park’s Art Block is a curated showcase of local and regional artists presented as part of Magnolia Park’s annual Holiday in the Park celebration in Burbank.

The theme for the 2026 Art Block is “Art Locally.”

The theme is intentionally broad. Artists are encouraged to interpret “Art Locally” in whatever way feels meaningful to their work — whether that means place, community, identity, neighborhood, culture, environment, personal experience, or simply the idea of creating and sharing art within the local community. There is no single “correct” interpretation, and artists are not expected to create new work specifically for the theme.

Selected artists will be invited to exhibit their work in a dedicated Art Block located on the 2600 block of Magnolia Boulevard during Holiday in the Park on Friday, November 20, 2026.

There is no application fee or participation fee for selected artists. Artists are participating as part of the event’s creative programming. Artwork may be offered for sale, but sales are not required.

We welcome original work in a variety of fine-art mediums, including painting, drawing, photography, printmaking, sculpture, ceramics, fiber, glass, metal, wood, mixed media, digital art, and other original artist-created work.

This is a juried exhibition. Applicants will be asked to provide examples of their work and information about their artistic practice. Selection will be based on the quality and originality of the work, presentation, and overall fit with the Art Block.

Commercially manufactured products, imported goods, resale merchandise, mass-produced items, and work not substantially created by the applying artist are not eligible.

Applications must be received by October 8, 2026 at 11:59 PM.

Holiday in the Park’s Community Stage celebrates the incredible talent, creativity, and community spirit of Burbank and the surrounding area as part of Magnolia Park’s annual Holiday in the Park celebration.

We’re looking for choirs, dance troupes, school and youth groups, carolers, community organizations, cultural groups, and other local performers interested in taking the Community Stage during Holiday in the Park on Friday, November 20, 2026, from 4:00 PM to 10:00 PM.

The Community Stage is designed to showcase performers of all ages and experience levels. Whether you’re part of a school ensemble, neighborhood dance studio, community choir, cultural organization, youth group, or another group that would love the opportunity to perform for the community, we’d love to hear from you.

Holiday in the Park is a large, free community celebration that takes place along Magnolia Boulevard and attracts visitors of all ages. Performances should be appropriate for a public, all-ages environment.

This is a curated performance opportunity, but professional performance experience is not required. Applicants will be asked to tell us about their group, what they would like to perform, approximately how many people will participate, their availability, and any basic technical or staging needs. If you have photos, video, or other examples of your group performing, we welcome them, but polished professional materials are not necessary.

Selection and scheduling will be based on the proposed performance, fit with Holiday in the Park, available performance times, technical and staging considerations, and our goal of creating a fun and varied Community Stage program.

Submitting an application does not guarantee selection, and selected performers are not guaranteed a particular performance time or set length. Final scheduling will be determined by the Holiday in the Park programming team.

If you are a band, musician, or other live music act seeking a traditional concert-stage performance, please apply for our Main Stage instead.

Applications must be received by October 8, 2026 at 11:59 PM.
