Walk of Fame

The Walk of Fame is a famous outdoor memorial and promenade consisting of more than 2,700 five-pointed stars embedded in the asphalt sidewalks along 15 blocks of Hollywood Boulevard and three blocks of Vine Street. Each star honors individuals and fictional characters who have made significant contributions to the entertainment industry, including actors, musicians, and other icons. Established in 1958 and officially opened in 1960, it serves as both a public artwork and a symbol of Hollywood's legacy.

The stars are made of terrazzo and brass, creating a distinctive design that has become a cultural landmark. The sidewalk is wheelchair accessible and functions as a pedestrian promenade where the stars are permanently embedded in the pavement. The Walk of Fame is free to access and spans a considerable distance, providing a tangible connection to the history of entertainment. It is recognized as a monument and hall of fame, commemorating achievements across the entertainment spectrum.
