Welcome to the City of Gatlinburg
 Home:   Special Events

We at the Office of Special Events recognize the innate desire of people to interact with not only members of their community but with people from all over the world.  As people in this day and age are increasingly isolated via their personal workspace, their travel to and from work and their web surfing, we recognize that the need for personal interaction increases.
A Special Event, by definition, is an activity designed to bring people together.  The activity becomes "special" upon leaving a lasting impression.  It is our mission to create special venues of interaction, thus accomplishing three goals simultaneously:
  • bringing people together

  • generating tourism revenue for the city and

  • creating fond memories.

At our level of business, we are responsible for not only tourists and prospective tourists, but also our local community interests as well.  The job of our Office is to plan activities in a timely, effective, and cost conscience way and to balance all of these needs in a concise package called a "Special Event."
