Pittsburgh Walk of Fame

Celebrating Southwestern Pennsylvanians Who Have Left Their Mark on America

Congratulations to Our Upcoming 2026 Inductees!

Take Some Time For a Walk…

The Pittsburgh Walk of Fame has doubled in size!

After the ribbon was cut on this new Strip District Terminal visitor attraction in October 2025, the star-studded walkway doubled in size during an induction ceremony that took place October 13, 2026.

The festive event honored inductees Myron Cope, Martha Graham, Charles “Teenie” Harris, Franco Harris, H.J. Heinz, Shirley Jones, Mario Lemieux, Henry Mancini, Jimmy Stewart, and George Westinghouse—all luminaries with ties to southwestern Pennsylvania who have made notable contributions to our nation’s culture.

Highlighting the ceremony were remarks by hockey legend Mario Lemieux, who took to the podium to deliver heartfelt comments to enthusiastic fans filling the street. The other nine honorees were represented by family members or others who carry on their legacies.

It was an uplifting and inspirational event at this must-see spot in Pittsburgh, which is located on Smallman Street in the Strip District, between 18th and 19th streets.

Come take this walk with us!
