Looking for an outdoor activity for you and your family or friends to meet up, learn about St. Louis and still keep a safe distance from others? Take a “field trip” to the St. Louis Walk of Fame on Delmar Blvd and explore more than 150 St. Louis Walk of Fame stars and informative plaques. Those featured are St. Louisans who have contributed to our cultural heritage on a national level. For a map of who is who and where to find each star, click here. 

While you enjoy your stroll down Delmar for casual exercise and learning, you can also order a meal or snack to go from Loop restaurants offering take out and curbside options. Explore some option with this interactive map. 

Along the way, you’ll see some new construction projects as well as the outdoor sculptures including the famous Chuck Berry Statue.

The St. Louis Walk of Fame is a nonprofit organization founded in 1988 to provide a showcase for the cultural heritage of St. Louis and to advance the knowledge, awareness and appreciation of great St. Louisans and their accomplishments. Its mission is also to encourage pride in the community and career inspiration in individuals.

The Walk of Fame consists of brass stars and bronze plaques embedded in the sidewalks of the Delmar Loop to honor people from the St. Louis area who have made major national contributions to our cultural heritage. Each star features the name of an honoree and the accompanying plaque contains a biography summarizing his or her achievements and connection to the city. These informative plaques distinguish the St. Louis Walk of Fame from similar projects throughout the country and make ours educational as well as entertaining. 

The St. Louis Walk of Fame highly values education and donates copies of its book to the libraries of all St. Louis metropolitan area junior high schools and high schools where they are used for school projects, research projects and reading for plain enjoyment. One will frequently see school field trips in The Loop making chalk rubbings of the plaques on paper for their projects.

The Walk provides examples of role models from all walks of life and areas of achievement – everyone can identify with somebody on it who stirs motivation in them.

The St. Louis Walk of Fame is free, open all year round and easily accessible.
