Door Open 2025 Hosted by Explore Buffalo

Doors Open Buffalo, Explore Buffalo’s signature annual event, is a day of free public access to architecturally and historically significant locations.

This year’s event is Saturday, Sept. 20 from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. To prepare for the event, help cleanup around Buffalo! Join in the Solo Sweep on Thursday, Sept. 18 at Buffalo Niagara Waterkeeper’s office. The first 50 people to complete a cleanup will get a free drink ticket to 42 North in Buffalo. Learn more here.

The goal of Doors Open Buffalo is to excite visitors about Buffalo’s unique architectural heritage. Doors Open Buffalo is a unique opportunity to visit building interiors that are often not open to the public and is a choose-your-own-adventure event: visitors can visit as many locations and in whatever order they wish.
