Rainbow Honor Walk

The Rainbow Honor Walk runs through the sidewalks of the Castro, creating a kind of “walk of fame” dedicated to LGBTQ+ icons from around the world. Bronze plaques set into the pavement honor writers, artists, activists, and leaders who made lasting contributions to gay history and culture.

It’s both an educational journey and a celebration, giving visitors a chance to learn about figures like James Baldwin, Frida Kahlo, and Oscar Wilde while strolling through one of San Francisco’s most famous gay neighborhoods. The walk is constantly growing, with new plaques added over time, making it a must-see attraction in San Fran.
