Doors Open Buffalo is a unique opportunity to visit building interiors that are often not open to the public and is a choose-your-own-adventure event: visitors can visit as many locations and in whatever order they wish.
Date: Saturday, September 26, 2026
Time: 10 am - 4 pm
Event Hub: Buffalo Niagara Convention Center @153 Franklin Street OR Buffalo Visitor Center @ 1 Commercial St.
Typically held on a Saturday in September, Doors Open Buffalo attracts thousands of visitors each year! There are kid-friendly experiences at certain locations throughout the event. In years past, Doors Open had coloring, button-making, "print your own" design on a printing press, and even cookie decorating available for kids!
