Walk of Fame 50th Anniversary

Hollywood Walk of Fame Celebrates 50th Anniversary

The Walk of Fame celebrates its 50th anniversary in 2010 and the Hollywood Chamber of Commerce is planning numerous events to mark this important anniversary.

Hollywood celebrated the 50th anniversary of the Hollywood Walk of Fame, with “Walk the Walk” on Sunday, July 25. This day-long festival was Hollywood’s “open house” with tours of iconic Hollywood theatres and studios, as well as live music, performances, movie screenings and activities for the whole family. Events were scheduled throughout Hollywood, many offered free or at a deep discount for this one day only. Four key locations – Hollywood & Highland Center including the TV Guide studio, Egyptian Theatre, Capitol Records and the Montalban Theatre – showcased the five categories of stars: motion pictures, television, recording, radio and live theatre – and of course the Walk of Fame itself. Many restaurants, retailers and attractions also joined in the celebration offering discounts, special menu items and giveaways. Information stations were located at the four locations with free programs outlining the schedule of events and participating businesses and attractions. Thousands came to the Boulevard and joined in “Walk the Walk,” visiting the stars that transformed a Hollywood sidewalk into a historic, international icon.
