St. Louis enthusiast and business owner Joe Edwards founded the non-profit St. Louis Walk of Fame in 1988 with the goal of drawing attention to great St. Louisans who have had a major influence on our culture on a national or international level. The Walk of Fame consists of brass stars and bronze plaques embedded in the sidewalks of the vibrant Delmar Loop neighborhood. Each star features the name of an honoree and the accompanying plaque contains a biography putting their achievements and connection to the city into perspective making this Walk enjoyable and educational.
The Delmar Loop arts and entertainment district is designated “One of the 10 Great Streets in America” by the American Planning Association.
