Music City Walk of Fame facts for kids

Kids Encyclopedia Facts

The Music City Walk of Fame is a special place in Nashville, Tennessee. It's like a hall of fame, but on the sidewalk! It honors people who have made a big difference in Nashville's amazing music history.

Each person honored gets a cool star made of stainless steel and a special stone called terrazzo. These stars are placed right into the sidewalk in Walk of Fame Park. You can find this park between the Country Music Hall of Fame, the Bridgestone Arena, and the Schermerhorn Symphony Center. It's a great spot to visit!

The Walk of Fame started in 2006. The Nashville Convention and Visitors Bureau created it. Gibson Guitars helped get it started. In 2015, a new design for the stars was shown when artists Jack White and Loretta Lynn were added.
