The Office of Planning and Economic Development (OPED) , in collaboration with the Greater Holyoke Chamber, is excited to announce Doors Open 2024, which will take place on Saturday, October 19th.

In 2021, the City of Holyoke hosted its first Doors Open event with 20+ locations opened and over 300 visitors. Some of the highlights of the event include the Mass Green High-Performance Computing Center, the Masonic Temple, the Hotel Jess, and tours of City Hall.

For the past three years, Doors Open Holyoke has featured iconic Holyoke locations like Open Square, the Richardson Train Station and the Victory Theater, as well as places of worship and manufacturing companies. On October 19th, we have new locations and activities including shuttle service Mural Tours.

Doors Open Holyoke provides an opportunity to discover hidden architectural gems in the city of Holyoke, and to see behind doors that are rarely open to the public for free. Our goal is to connect people to local destinations in Holyoke of cultural, historical and architectural significance, bridging communities and inspiring new perspectives.

Doors Open is a free event open to the public, all participating sites must agree to keep entry to their facilities completely free from 10am-1pm.
