Open City Benefit

The Open City Benefit is a celebration of the power of place and new possibilities for our city.

The Open City Benefit is Open House New York’s single largest source of support, making possible our work to promote broad, unparalleled access to the city—the places, people, projects, systems, and ideas that define New York and its future.

The Open City Award, which honors the team behind a new project of singular importance to New York City, is conferred at the Benefit.

The 2026 Open City Benefit is on April 28 at 3 World Trade Center.

Weekend Launch Party

A festive kickoff to the OHNY Weekend festival.

The Weekend Launch Party is the official kickoff to OHNY Weekend and a fundraiser that helps keep the majority of the festival programming free. Every year, we gather as a community in a spectacular space to celebrate a weekend of access, discovery, and our shared love of New York City.
