Doors Open Toronto 2026

Save the date for the annual Doors Open Toronto festival, happening on the weekend of May 23-24, 2026. More details on opening sites and programming, including all TSA events, will be announced in mid-April.

Each May, Doors Open Toronto invites the public to explore the city’s most-loved buildings and sites, free of charge. The event provides rare access to buildings that are not usually open to the public and free access to sites that would usually charge an admission fee. Since its inception in 2000, it has attracted more than two million visits to nearly 700 unique locations and remains the largest event of its kind in Canada.

2026 Doors Open Theme: “The World in a City.” As Toronto prepares to welcome fans across the globe to the FIFA World Cup 26™, Doors Open looks at the people, places and stories that make the city a global mosaic. Featuring guided neighbourhood tours, insightful talks and more than 150 buildings and sites, Doors Open considers the histories, cultures and nations that continue to shape the city. With more than half of its population born overseas, Toronto is one of the most multicultural cities in the world. This Doors Open looks at how diversity has been Toronto’s strength since its founding. Whether through architecture inspired from global cultures, histories that reflect the many societies and traditions who call Toronto home or the ways in which buildings act as community gathering spaces, this Doors Open considers Toronto’s past and future, together.
