That Make HBQ Fest Happen

2026 Venue

The Ukrainian Cultural Center

A gorgeous ornate stage and ballroom, an old Hollywood time capsule ready to welcome the Hollywood Burlesque Festival

In the heart of Hollywood on Melrose Ave. just blocks from the 101, Vermont Ave and Vermont & Santa Monica Metro Station.

The Ukrainian Culture Center, located at Melrose Avenue and Heliotrope Drive in Hollywood, opened in 1924 as Jensen’s Melrose Theatre. It was built by Henry C. Jensen, a German immigrant and owner of Henry C. Jensen & Sons, brick manufacturers. Jenson, based in the Pasadena/Glendale area, developed neighborhoods as well as built and managed theaters and shopping centers in Glendale, Pasadena a Hollywood during the early 1900s.

Purchased in 1959, the theatre was remodeled into the Ukrainian Culture Center, which opened in February 1961. The original name of the theatre is still shown in the tile-work across the top of the building’s facade.

A Message From the Founder

When I launched the Hollywood Burlesque Festival our community had exploded and I felt we could be a great host to an international community. Hollywood has a rich history in burlesque and I wanted to share that, I’m proud of the international talent and the locals who came together to make that first festival happen. As we head into our 10th year handing the clipboard and vision to Miss Spent Youth is perfect. I can’t imagine a more qualified and talented individual to take this festival to its next level. I am excited to see what she does and I’ll be in the audience cheering.
