The 17th-annual Doors Open Richmond (DOR) is back for another year this July.

Presented by the Richmond Museum, DOR invites attendees to explore over 40 locations across the city, revealing the inner workings of the businesses, people, and cultures that make Richmond what it is.

“Richmond is a city of diverse cultures, ideas, and experiences,” shares Bilan Hassan, chair of the Richmond Museum Society, in a release. “Doors Open brings that diversity to life by allowing us to meet the people who make our community so special. From the civic workers who keep our city humming, to the artists who enrich our lives, this event offers a personal touch that can change the way we see our neighbours and the world around us.”

Stop by the Turkish-Canadian Society to try Turkish cuisine and make traditional crafts, or visit the Richmond Olympic Oval, which will have tour facilities and interactive elements ideal for sports lovers.

Most events will be on a drop-in basis; however, select events require reservations. Learn more here.
