Weekend 2024 Report
The Open House Melbourne Weekend 2024 festival was enthusiastically embraced, despite some challenging weather, attracting over 63,000 in-person and online visits including open buildings, tours, talks, events, exhibitions and online programs.
Through our programming, Open House Melbourne connects people to place, helping them to better understand our city, how it has developed over time, the decisions and issues that shape it as it grows and role that good design plays in ensuring it thrives into the future. This year we engaged 150 collaborators made up of architecture + design practices, building owners/managers and community groups.
