Saturday and Sunday, May 23 and 24, 2026, from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m.

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. Since its inception in 2000, Doors Open Toronto has attracted more than two million visits to nearly 700 unique locations. It remains the largest event of its kind in Canada.

For 2026, Doors Open Toronto explores The World in a City! As Toronto prepares to welcome fans from across the globe to the FIFA World Cup 26™, Doors Open Toronto looks at the people, places and stories that showcase the city’s global mosaic. Featuring guided neighbourhood tours, insightful talks and more than 150 buildings and sites, Doors Open Toronto 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 year, we look 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 year’s event considers Toronto’s past and future — together.
