St. Louis Walk of Fame
The St. Louis Walk of Fame is a series of 100
stars and plaques set in the sidewalks along
Delmar Boulevard in the dynamic Loop neighborhood
honoring St. Louisans-past and present-who
have made significant contributions to life
in America.
The honorees are people from a wide
array of fields and include architects, political
activists, entertainers, educators, broadcasters,
scientists, journalists, sports figures and writers.
To be nominated for a star on the Walk of Fame,
a person must have been born in St. Louis or spent
their formative or creative years here and their accomplishments
must have had an impact on the country's cultural heritage.
Anyone can nominate a candidate for the Walk of Fame.
Once a year a diverse selection committee of 120 St. Louisans select
new inductees who are announced each spring.
