You know that fall has descended upon Chicago when the leaves look more fiery, the smell of pumpkin spice tinges the air and Open House Chicago prepares to bust open typically-shut doors across the city. This year marks the 15th anniversary of the always-free public architecture festival—with the anniversary comes new locations, a transit plan and more.

This year, Open House Chicago will feature approximately 210 locations across 25 Chicago neighborhoods, including more than 30 new sites. Returning spots include KOVAL Distillery , Ramova Theatre in Bridgeport, Farm on Ogden, the Walt Disney House & Birthplace in Hermosa and downtown’s Fine Arts Building . In addition to the open sites, OHC will host more than 40 programs and activations throughout the weekend.
