The deadline for the 2024 Walk of Fame nominations have been extended to FRIDAY, JANUARY 12, 2024 at 5:00 p.m.
The City established the Walk of Fame in 2010 at the inaugural Great American Beach Party to pay tribute to the legendary Connie Francis on the 50th Anniversary of “Where the Boys Are,” the 1960 film which made Fort Lauderdale an overnight sensation and a “must see” destination for visitors.
Walk of Fame Honorees are recognized by making sustained, positive impacts in one or more of the areas listed below but not limited to:
• Providing a positive outlook for the future of our youth,
• Contributing to the quality of life for our citizens,
• Fostering the spirit of our community,
• Bringing positive recognition to the City, locally or nationally,
• Making Fort Lauderdale a place to live, work, or play,
• Encouraging people to visit Fort Lauderdale as a destination of choice.
As part of the awards program, each honoree receives a commemorative paver that is placed in the Walk of Fame to memorialize their outstanding accomplishments. The Fort Lauderdale Walk of Fame is located on the beach along the east side of A1A at Las Olas Boulevard. Walk of Fame Honorees are announced at the Great American Beach Party, which is tentatively scheduled to take place on the Saturday of Memorial Day Weekend.
