In the last decades the fields of special events have grown dramatically. Globally there has been watched an enormous quantitative and qualitative boom of events. Mega-events, such as Olympics or World’s Fair, became part of global culture and they are known for amazing visit rates amounting to millions. They fulfil numerous functions in economic, cultural and environmental spheres. Their impacts are multiplied by factors, such as tourism and media with worldwide coverage. The need for managing the impacts of special events is appeared in order to protect and develop cultural, economic and environmental ambient for other generation. The article draws attention to necessity of complex study of special events, not only in the field of event management, event tourism or other economic sciences. The focus is concentrated to social sciences with intent to evoke the reaction of the culturology to the field of special events. The main view is dedicated to special events as a cultural value with an own evolution dated back to the appearance of first religious ideas. The history of special events is analysed depending upon the evolution of human culture/society with accent on tourism as a former factor. By this the author confirms relation among events, culture and tourism.
