Various Locations in Richmond Hill
Doors Open Richmond Hill is an event that supports cultural sites in the community to open their doors to everyone. This free event is part of Doors Open Ontario, launched in 2002 by the Ontario Heritage Trust. This year, Doors Open Richmond Hill is running in conjunction with the Richmond Hill Studio Tour. Local studios and artists will be welcoming the public into their home studios to see their work, view their creative spaces, engage in lively demonstrations and learn more about their artistic process.
This year, the Richmond Hill Business Improvement Area (BIA) welcomes Doors Open visitors to explore restaurants, cafés and bars in the Village of Richmond Hill. The BIA is the voice of the business community in the historical heart of Richmond Hill.
