About OHNY Weekend

Launched in 2003, Open House New York Weekend is an annual festival that opens hundreds of noteworthy or significant places across the five boroughs to foster discovery and delight for New Yorkers and visitors alike.

On October 20-22, 2023, the 21st annual OHNY Weekend festival offered a mix of in-person experiences, self-guided explorations, and digital content—giving participants an insider’s look at everything from single rooms, studios, factories, and public spaces to entire buildings, blocks, bike corridors, and waterways.

Building on our expanded mission to promote citywide access to all New Yorkers, the festival is now 100% free to the public.

2023 OHNY Weekend

On October 20-22, 2023, the 21st annual OHNY Weekend welcomed over 25,000 visitors into 330+ places across the five boroughs, spanning 128 neighborhoods, and nearly 1,400 zip codes. The lottery system for ticketed locations filled over 7,000 slots across the three-day festival.

I discovered Bronx Community College through OHNY Weekend. I love Marcel Breuer and was fascinated by the campus. I was literally high on architecture that day.
