Following a pragmatic approach – to protect the banks of the Salaca river from erosion – the fathers of the county decided to build the promenade. As time passed, the locals brought rocks to the town and the promenade was made! Although such description seems to fit a situation a couple of hundreds of years back, this is not the case – the promenade was opened in May of 2014.
On July 16, 2016, "Alley of fame" was opened on the promenade. The author of the idea is D.Strauberg and the work at it started 7 years ago, when the first artist handprints were taken during the Positivus festival. In 2016 in the "alley of fame" there were visible five bronze handprints by the famous people who have visited Salacgriva. For example music band "Hurts" and the creator of the classical music festival Alexey Lundin.
Each year, the "alley of fame" will be complemented with new bronze handprints of celebrities.
