St. Louis Walk of Fame | St. Louis, MO

What do Maya Angelou, Chuck Berry and Tina Turner all have in common? They’re all members of the St. Louis Walk of Fame.

Located along Delmar Boulevard in the Loop neighborhood, St. Louis Walk of Fame is a series of brass stars and bronze plaques set in the sidewalks that honor members of the St. Louis community past and present, which has made contributions to entertainment, acting, art, broadcasting, journalism, sports, science, politics, education and literature. The Walk of Fame was the brainchild of Joe Edwards, proprietor of the landmark Blueberry Hill restaurant in the area, and was likely inspired by the Hollywood Walk of Fame.

According to the St. Louis Walk of Fame web site, there are two requirements to be chosen as a member of the St. Louis Walk of Fame. “The candidate must have been born in the St. Louis area or the candidate must have spent their formative or creative years in St. Louis, and also the candidate must have made a significant national impact on our cultural heritage.”

Some of the African American stars that have met this standard include Maya Angelou, Tina Turner, Ike Turner, Josephine Baker, Miles Davis, Katherine Durham, Chuck Berry, Redd Foxx, Dick Gregory, Robert Guillaume, Scott Joplin Jackie Joyner-Kersee, Nelly, Dred and Harriet Scott.

The walk is open year round and of course admission is FREE.
