With restrictions and limitations still in place for events and gatherings during the pandemic, we have made the unfortunate decision to cancel Doors Open Lowell again this year. The event depends upon the willingness of property owners to allow the general public to view oftentimes private spaces and given requirements still in place, we do not believe it would be feasible to hold the event this year.
Thank you everyone for your past and future support of Doors Open Lowell and we hope to see you in 2022!. Doors Open Lowell offers an insiders look into many of Lowell's magnificent historic buildings. Now in its 18th year, Doors Open Lowell is the community's signature preservation, architecture, and design event, the first of its kind in the United States when it debuted in 2002.
This free annual event held during National Preservation Month celebrates Lowell's architectural heritage, urban living, and culture that makes the community a creative and exciting place to live, work, and visit.
