The Music City Walk Of Fame

The Nashville Convention and Visitors Bureau founded the Music City Walk of Fame in 2006. It is located in Walk of Fame Park, between the Country Music Hall of Fame and Bridgestone Arena. When a new honoree is selected, a large stainless steel and terrazzo star is embedded into the sidewalk.

On October 30th, 2024, Buffett will join the likes of Kenny Rogers, Dolly Parton, Alabama, and many more country greats with a star. This is a well-deserved honor for the “Come Monday” singer. He has 17 gold and platinum albums and over 30 studio albums that have reached the top 10 on the Billboard 200. 

According to the Music City Walk Of Fame website, the induction is free and open to the public.
