HOLYOKE – The Office of Planning and Economic Development (OPED), in collaboration with the Tourism Advisory Committee, is excited to announce that Doors Open Holyoke 2025 returns on Saturday, October 11th — and this year promises to be bigger, bolder, and more unforgettable than ever!
For one special day, Holyoke will throw open its doors and invite you to explore the city’s hidden gems — historic buildings, cultural landmarks, artistic spaces, and architectural treasures not usually open to the public.
This international event, which began in France in 1984 and has since spread across the globe, celebrates curiosity, community pride, and the joy of seeing your city through new eyes.
Now in its fifth year, Doors Open Holyoke (DOH25) is ready to shine — and we invite you to explore with us!
And that’s just the beginning…
DOH25 is part of the Annual Day in the ’Yoke, featuring the Great Holyoke Brick Race, the Paper City Food Festival, and many more surprises throughout the city.
