About Doors Open Denver
Doors Open Denver is an annual tradition hosted by the Denver Architecture Foundation. Doors Open Denver 2026 will celebrate Destination Downtown, an exploration of the architecture, urban planning, urban design and public spaces at the heart of Denver. As the state marks its 150th anniversary, this year’s programming will highlight Denver’s remarkable downtown renaissance now underway: the reinvention of the 16th Street corridor, the revitalization of historic landmarks, and the surge of bold thinking and contemporary design reshaping the urban core.
