About Doors Open Winnipeg
The inaugural Doors Open Winnipeg event was launched in 2004 by Heritage Winnipeg and the Downtown BIZ. Starting out with 30 buildings in the downtown and St. Boniface areas, the event had expanded throughout the city by 2007. Doors Open Winnipeg is now held annually during the last weekend of May. The public is invited to take walking tours and explore built heritage treasures, cultural institutions and other buildings of interest not normally accessible to the public, all completely free of charge! This event is both entertaining and educational, attracting tourists and local residents, and increases our civic and community pride by proudly displaying Winnipeg’s architecturally, culturally and historically significant buildings.
