Sunsphere Events

Sunsphere Events operates the private event levels inside the Sunsphere, the golden-globed tower built for the 1982 World's Fair and still the most recognizable structure on the Knoxville skyline. Event suites sit high in the sphere itself, with wraparound windows giving a full 360-degree view of downtown, the Tennessee River, and the Great Smoky Mountains in the distance. The space is climate-controlled and the location at World's Fair Park puts guests steps from downtown hotels and the convention center.

The operator offers customizable packages rather than a fixed menu of formats, and books weddings, corporate events and conferences, birthdays, anniversaries, baby showers, proms, and game-day tailgate gatherings. Tours are available by appointment for anyone planning an event. Because the rooms are defined by their windows, the venue suits gatherings sized to the tower's footprint rather than large galas. It is best for weddings, milestone parties, and corporate receptions where the view is the centerpiece.
