The Music City Walk of Fame is a special place in downtown Nashville, Tennessee. It's like a famous sidewalk that celebrates people who have made a big difference in Nashville's music history. It also honors those who have achieved great things in the music world.

Each person honored here gets a cool star. This star is made of shiny stainless steel and a special stone called terrazzo. You can find these stars right in the sidewalk at Walk of Fame Park. This park is located between the Country Music Hall of Fame, the Bridgestone Arena, and the Schermerhorn Symphony Center.

The Nashville Convention and Visitors Bureau started this walk in 2006. A famous guitar company, Gibson Guitars, helped get it started. The park was updated between 2014 and 2015. It reopened on June 4, 2015, with new star designs. That day, famous artists Jack White and Loretta Lynn were also added to the Walk of Fame.

Inductees

New honorees are added to the Music City Walk of Fame twice a year. This usually happens in the spring and in the fall. Sometimes, people are honored after they have passed away. This is called being "inducted posthumously."
