Doors Open Barrie 2025 takes place on Saturday, September 27, and features 19 sites. Step inside local landmarks, heritage treasures and creative spaces! Go behind the scenes of places rarely open to the public, explore unique architecture, and uncover the stories that make our community special.

Doors Open Barrie is supported by Creative Barrie, the cultural development branch of the Economic & Creative Development Department. This year, Doors Open Barrie is incorporated into Culture Days programming. When paired with Culture Days, it provides a unique opportunity to present free, hands-on arts activities in Doors Open sites, giving residents and visitors a chance to learn about Barrie’s arts, heritage and business community.

Visit Allandale Recreation Centre and join members of the Barrie Sports Hall of Fame and Mariposa School of Skating for a Local Hero Sports Hall of Fame quiz! Children and families will be given a list of questions to answer. The questions will encourage participants to tour the paintings and images in the space to find answers and win a treat!
