History of the event

The Walk of Fame was begun by Celebration Dayton ’96 at the main terminal of the Dayton International Airport in 1996 in recognition of the region’s Bicentennial. Wilbur and Orville Wright were the first two inductees in 1995 to jump start the idea. The project was transferred to the 2003 Inventing Flight Committee in 1997. Today the Dayton Region Walk of Fame is in the Wright Dunbar Historic District in Dayton on West Third Street. It is managed by Wright Dunbar, Inc. and an event Executive Committee.

Almost 200 individuals or groups have been recognized in the last three decades. Stones to recognize them are placed in the sidewalk for a truly outstanding learning experience. Inductees represent the following fields: Arts and Culture, Aviation, Business/Corporate Leaders, Community Service, Education, Entertainment/Media, Environment, Government/Military, Invention/Innovation, Law, Medicine, Philanthropy, Science, Significant Personal Achievement and Sports. Nominations are considered active for three years.

2024 Awardees were The Breeders, Clay and MaryAnn Mathile, Idotha “Bootsie” Neal, the Osborne Brothers, and Dr. G. Douglas Talbott.
