2026 Launch Party
A festive event kicking off the 24th Open House New York Weekend.
Thursday, October 15, 2026
The Woolworth Building
233 Broadway, 26th Floor, Lower Manhattan
6–9 PM
This October, we return to the top of The Woolworth Building to celebrate the 24th Open House New York Weekend. Same soaring skyline views, same up-close look at the building's intricate terra cotta façade (gargoyles included), but a whole new slate of festivities with a community of New Yorkers who share your love of the city.
The Launch Party directly supports Open House New York Weekend, a citywide festival that opens doors across the five boroughs, delivering 1,400 hours of free public programming to 50,000 New Yorkers each year. This October 16-18, more than 300 destinations across the five boroughs—from subway tunnels to skyscrapers, and everything in between will be open for exploration. But first, we celebrate.

Space provided with generous support from The Woolworth Building.

List as of October 2
The Woolworth is a landmark workplace where character drives culture and culture drives business. Defined by craftsmanship, atmosphere, and enduring architectural detail, New York City's original icon remains one of its most recognizable addresses.
That legacy is now shaping a new chapter. Under Cammeby's stewardship, and in partnership with Witkoff, distinctive workplaces are being layered with curated retail, upcoming restaurant concepts, wellness offerings, and cultural programming, together shaping a more dynamic destination for Lower Manhattan.
More than a century after reshaping the skyline, the Woolworth continues to stand apart as an environment where historic character and contemporary culture converge.
Highlights from 2026
On October 15, 2026—dressed in plush Neo-Gothic grandeur style—nearly 600 guests gathered at the iconic Woolworth Building to kick off OHNY Weekend. It was a joyous evening celebrating the power of an open city and the magic of Open House New York Weekend. The evening buzzed with creative energy, with a live stone carving demo from Chris Pellettieri, art installations and performances from Aaron Asis, and delicious bites and drinks from Great Performances, including dishes from Momofuku and Russ & Daughters.
