Music City Walk of Fame Park

Now is your chance to take a picture with the stars! The stars on the Music City Walk of Fame, that is. Similar to the Hollywood Walk of Fame, the Music City Walk of Fame on Nashville’s Music Mile is a landmark tribute to those who have contributed through song, the music industry, or are major supporters of music. From Little Jimmy Dickens’s humorous novelty country songs to Kirk Whalum’s contemporary jazz, the stars on the walk span genres and generations—honoring those that make, create, record, and perform music for the world. 

The Walk of Fame may not be considered a traditional work of art, but it is the very definition of “street art” as the stars are literally beneath your feet. There is also no denying the artistry of the musicians and others represented. Snap a few photos of some of your favorite musical artists. Walk of Fame nomination categories for this prestigious recognition include: artist, songwriter, musician, producer, and music industry executive. The award nominations require a two-year waiting period. A portion of the nomination fees go towards the Convention & Visitor’s Corporation (CVC), which is also known as Music City, Inc. The CVC is a non-profit foundation that serves Nashville citizens through initiatives that expand the Music City brand and promote the city in various ways. Managed by the Metro Parks and Recreation Department, the Walk of Fame Park is always open to the public, and everyone is invited to the free induction ceremonies. 

Head toward the intersection of Fourth Avenue South and Demonbreun Ave. Cross the intersection, and stop at the corner of the Schermerhorn Symphony Center, where we begin with the sculpture in front of you—the Recording Angel.
