Music City Walk of Fame is a highly iconic landmark at the heart of Nashville, Tennessee, with shining stars to commemorate significant contributions to the music industry and its long-standing heritage. The stars are made of stainless steel and terrazzo, embedded in the sidewalk along the historic walkway in the Walk of Fame park.
First established in 2006 by the Nashville Convention and Visitors Bureau with the founding sponsor Gibson Guitars, the Music City Walk of Fame continues to honor those with lasting impact on music and their musical achievements today.
