Music City Walk of Fame
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Music City Walk of Fame in downtown Nashville is a walk of fame that honors significant contributors to Nashville's musical heritage and significant achievements in the music industry.[1]
Each honoree is commemorated with a large stainless steel and terrazzo star embedded in the sidewalk in Walk of Fame Park between the Country Music Hall of Fame, Bridgestone Arena, and Schermerhorn Symphony Center.[2][3]
The walk was established in 2006 by the Nashville Convention and Visitors Bureau.[1] Gibson Guitars is a founding sponsor.[4] A new plaque design was revealed with the induction of artists Jack White and Loretta Lynn in 2015.[5]
Honorees are inducted twice annually, in the spring and fall.[4]
