August 3rd was our Celebration at World’s Fair Park and by all accounts, it was a great success. The food was delicious (thanks to Holly’s) the beer was cold (thanks to the Tap Truck), the auction was stunning (thanks to all of our artist donors) and the atmosphere was totally 80s! Check out a handful of photos from the event here, and see the rest of our photos (courtesy of Tinah Utsman) on our Flickr page, here!
The 80s were on full display in many of our guests’ attire! Our Pre-Party included a free tour of the Sunsphere!

Sunset Gap received the 2022
Annette Anderson Directors’ Award!Former Knoxville Mayor Randy Tyree received the 2022 Bruce McCarty Community Impact Award!
Our special guest speaker was Bo Roberts (L), the President of the 1982 World’s Fair!
Thanks to our friends at Sugarlands Distilling and Hard Rock Vodka for our Specialty Sunsphere Drinks!
One of our favorite parts of the evening was being able to donate a check of $36,000 to Visit Knoxville’s Sunsphere Restoration Fund. We were only able to do this thanks to donations from people like you, and we were honored to help our community in this way!
We can’t wait to see you at our 2023 Celebration, whatever the theme and location may be!
