Brisbane Open House returns in 2025 with our biggest program in 5 years! Discover 90+ buildings, structures, places and spaces across Greater Brisbane—from heritage landmarks and cutting-edge design to rarely-seen private residences. This year’s program also features special preview events, behind-the-scenes tours, walking tours, talks, film screenings, and live performances.
