Residents in Stratford, Ontario, will have the chance to explore the city’s historic buildings for free when the Doors Open Stratford event returns on April 18 and April 19, 2026. This weekend event gives the community a way to see inside heritage sites that are often closed to the public.

According to Destination Stratford, the program is part of a province-wide effort to celebrate local history. The 2026 season marks the 25th anniversary of these events across the province.

One of the highlighted locations this year is Copperlight, which was previously known as the Knox Presbyterian Church. Visitors can tour this and other historical buildings to learn more about the city’s architectural past.

The City of Stratford supports the event to help promote local tourism and heritage. More information about the full list of participating sites will be available as the event dates in April approach.
