The tradition of the handprints was inaugurated in 1996 by the participants of the first Festival of Stars.
The promenade is part of the Wolin National Park periphery, despite its urban location.
Many handprints are accompanied by the signatures of the artists who created them.
The bronze casts are specifically maintained to endure the corrosive salt air of the Baltic Sea.
The walkway is the central venue for the annual Festival of Stars event in July.
The Promenade of Stars in Międzyzdroje is a landmark walkway modeled after the Hollywood Walk of Fame, dedicated to Polish film and theater personalities. Located along the Baltic Sea coastline, it features bronze handprints cast into stone slabs placed along the pier entrance. The tradition began in 1996 during the annual Festival of Stars, which brings notable actors and directors to the town. The promenade connects the town's park area directly to the Międzyzdroje Pier. It serves as a focal point for regional cultural tourism during the summer months. The site has expanded over decades, now containing hundreds of imprints from icons of Polish cinema.
The main entrance section where the most famous actor handprints are concentrated.
Visit during the early morning to photograph the handprints without crowd interference.
Check the local cultural calendar, as the promenade is often closed or restricted during the annual film festival.
Combine your walk with a stroll onto the adjacent pier for views of the coastline.
Avoid visiting during the peak of the July festival if you prefer a quiet experience, as the area becomes extremely crowded with event attendees.
The area is accessible year-round, though it is heavily occupied and occasionally restricted for public events during the annual summer film festival.
