About this Event

Welcome to Doors Open Minneapolis!

Step inside the buildings that tell our city’s story—completely free.

Doors Open Minneapolis, produced by Rethos, is a citywide open house featuring 75+ venues across Minneapolis, offering rare behind-the-scenes access to the places that shape our community.

From theaters to business hubs, sacred spaces to private clubs, sports venues to engineering marvels, and historic landmarks to buildings not yet open to the public—this is your chance to explore the city in a whole new way.

Meet the people who bring these spaces to life and hear the stories that make them meaningful. Whether you’re planning a full day of exploration or just stopping by a few sites, Doors Open Minneapolis is designed to be welcoming, accessible, and fun for all ages.
