Pittsburgh Walk of Fame moves from vision to reality in 2025!
The Strip District Terminal has been announced as the location for this upcoming attraction, and by year’s end its sidewalk will be embedded with the first group of bronze stars honoring people with ties to southwestern Pennsylvania who have made notable contributions to the cultural landscape of America.

Picture yourself strolling along an historic stretch of Smallman Street—and as you walk, stories unfold at your feet. Stories of entertainers, inventers, writers, artists, scientists, musicians, athletes, industrialists…the list goes on. Maybe they were born in the Pittsburgh area or were influenced here in some important way. Or perhaps they came to our region to fulfill their life’s passion.

Imagine, as you continue to walk, more names appear, embedded in the sidewalk with highlights of their extraordinary lives on display for all to discover—and to vividly see and hear, using a customized app. Envision, one by one, Southwestern Pennsylvanians who helped shape—or continue to shape—our national heritage, honored on an ever-expanding landmark. A tourist attraction to wow visitors and make locals burst with pride. Dedicated volunteers are working to make this happen, and efforts are underway to raise the necessary funds. But this is no cake walk.
