Celebrate 30 years of Sleepless in Seattle with a special screening of the film at the Mural Amphitheatre hosted by the Space Needle and Seattle Center. Watch the iconic 1993 film on July 1 at 9:30PM at Seattle Center. Seating is first-come, first-served and will run until approximately 11:15PM.

Guests can spread out on the Mural Amphitheatre Lawn and watch as Sam (played by Tom Hanks) and Annie (Meg Ryan) are drawn together by destiny. The romantic comedy features classic Seattle sights like Alki Beach, Pike Place Market, Lake Union, and even Gate N-7 at the Seattle-Tacoma International Airport.

Fans of the film can enjoy even more Sleepless fun at the Space Needle all weekend, including themed cocktails and mocktails, and a custom photo background to recreate the movie poster. The anniversary celebration also includes a special coast-to-coast collaboration by the Space Needle and Empire State Building to bring one lucky winner to Seattle and New York City on a six day Sleepless in Seattle-style affair.
