Every year, visitors to Doors Open events gain rare access to buildings and spaces that are normally closed to the public, or that normally charge admission.
Past participating sites include The Arlington Hotel, Bell Homestead National Historic Site, and Chiefswood National Historic Site.
Those interested in participating in the 2026 edition of Doors Open Along the Grand are encouraged to apply at bit.ly/ApplyDO2026. Participating sites must be located in the City of Brantford, County of Brant, or Six Nations of the Grand River, be able to accommodate a minimum of 40 visitors throughout the day, and reflect the diversity of their community by highlighting unique neighbourhoods, stories, individuals, architecture or buildings.
