The Bronx Walk of Fame is a celebration of the rich cultural heritage and lasting contributions of Bronx natives and residents. Established in 1997, this prestigious tradition honors individuals from various fields—including arts, music, sports, business, and public service—who have made a significant impact locally, nationally, and globally. The inductees are recognized with street signs along the Grand Concourse, creating a lasting tribute to their legacy in the borough.

For over two decades, the Walk of Fame has served as a symbol of Bronx pride, showcasing the borough’s deep influence across industries and cultures. Each year, new honorees are inducted during Bronx Week, a signature celebration of the borough’s vibrancy and resilience.

BXEDC & The Bronx Tourism Council

The Bronx Economic Development Corporation (BXEDC) is committed to fostering economic growth while preserving the borough’s unique cultural identity. As part of this mission, BXEDC oversees the Bronx Tourism Council, which plays a central role in promoting the Bronx’s rich history, cultural landmarks, and community events—including the Bronx Walk of Fame.

Through BXEDC and the Bronx Tourism Council, the Walk of Fame continues to be maintained, expanded, and integrated into broader efforts to highlight the Bronx as a destination for both locals and visitors. This includes:

• Preserving and updating Walk of Fame signs to ensure the continued recognition of past and present honorees.
• Promoting Bronx history and culture through initiatives that celebrate the borough’s influential figures.
• Expanding public engagement by making the Walk of Fame more accessible and interactive.

The Bronx Walk of Fame App

To further its mission of making the Walk of Fame more engaging, BXEDC has developed the Bronx Walk of Fame app. This interactive digital platform allows users to:

• Explore honorees with in-depth profiles, photos, and achievements.
• Navigate the Walk of Fame using an interactive map along the Grand Concourse.
• Experience audio and video content that brings each inductee’s story to life.
• Stay updated on Bronx Week celebrations and Walk of Fame events.

The app transforms a traditional landmark into an immersive experience, allowing users to connect with the borough’s history in a modern, engaging way.

By combining the efforts of BXEDC and the Bronx Tourism Council, the Walk of Fame continues to honor the legacy of Bronx icons while embracing new ways to share their stories with the world.
