Hollywood Walk of Fame • Section 1 of 5

Welcome to the world's most famous sidewalk! You are currently standing at a location that stretches for fifteen blocks along Hollywood Boulevard and three blocks along Vine Street. This is not just a walkway; it is a living tribute to over a century of entertainment excellence.[3] [9] With more than two thousand and eight hundred stars embedded in pink terrazzo and brass, this landmark welcomes approximately ten million visitors every single year. As you begin your walk, take a moment to look around. You are in the heart of Los Angeles, surrounded by the same energy that transformed this neighborhood from a quiet agricultural community into the entertainment capital of the world. Feel the history under your feet and the buzz of contemporary movie-making all around you, as this walk remains a functioning sidewalk where stars are still added at a rate of roughly two per month.
