Watching a Walk of Fame Star Ceremony

What a ceremony is

A ceremony is the unveiling of a new star at its place on the sidewalk. It is the step that completes the selection process: a nominee must commit to attending, and recipients have two years from selection to schedule the ceremony, or the selection expires. That rule makes a ceremony a scheduled public event on the Walk where the honoree is expected to be present. The how-to-get-a-star page covers the steps before it.

Where the schedule is

Upcoming ceremonies are listed on walkoffame.com, which also has a Walk of Fame information line, and the ceremonies are streamed live on the same site. Recent listings have given the honoree, the date and time and the street address of the new star, which is where the ceremony takes place. Recent ceremonies have been held at 11:30 am PT, but the time is set for each one, so the official listing is the reference on the day.

Recent ceremonies

Recent ceremonies listed on the official site include the following. Between them they span Sports Entertainment, Recording, Live Performance, Television and Motion Pictures.

The addresses spread across the length of the boulevard, from the 6100 block toward the eastern end to 7011 toward the western end, so the nearest Metro station differs from one ceremony to the next. Hollywood/Vine and Hollywood/Highland on the Metro B Line are the two stations Discover Los Angeles names for the Walk.

The Class of 2027

The Class of 2027, announced in July 2026, has 32 honorees. Because each recipient has two years to schedule a ceremony, names from a class appear on the calendar gradually rather than all at once. A name that has been announced but not yet unveiled will not be in the pavement until its ceremony has taken place. The official site is where each date is confirmed.

Planning to attend

Watching costs nothing and needs no booking. The public viewing area is subject to City restrictions, so arriving early and following any instructions on the day is sensible. Plans can change, which is why a same-day check of the official listing helps. A ceremony can be combined with the rest of the Walk: the find-a-star page explains how to place an address on the boulevard, and the getting-there page covers the Metro, the drive from LAX and where to be dropped off.

For a guided walk on the same sidewalk, the listing below is for the 2-hour tour that meets outside Musso & Frank Grill, per its listing.
