Open House Chicago: More Weekend Fun

Chicago Architecture Foundation

Save the Date! The details are still coming together, but Open House Chicago is scheduled to take place on October 15 and 16, 2022. Sponsored by the Chicago Architecture Foundation, Open House Chicago provides behind-the-scenes glimpses and tours of many of Chicago’s architectural gems.

The free(!) public event runs throughout the weekend. Feeling spontaneous? Great! No reservations are needed. Just show up at one of the 100+ venues found in more than 30 Chicago neighborhoods. It’s a great way to get to know the city and peek inside buildings (as well as offices and apartments) that are normally not open to the public.

CAF provides a useful selection tool that lets you choose a site based on neighborhood or category such as family-friendly, skyscraper, sacred space, accessibility, etc.

Follow along on Twitter via the hashtag #OHC2022.
