3. Doors Open RI Festival

We’ve all had moments when we see one of the many beautiful buildings of Providence and wonder what it looks like inside. Are there creaky old stairs? Hoardes of treasure? You can finally find out with the Doors Open RI Festival, a free citywide open house that provides behind-the-scenes access to more than twenty places and spaces across Providence. Experience the attic of City Hall, luxurious interiors of Barnaby Castle, recording studios of RI Public Radio and more. Image by Christan Scully, Design Imaging Studios.

The Details: Sept. 23. 10 a.m.–6 p.m. (Open access times for sites vary.) Free. Free transportation provided by RIPTA. Locations across Providence. Doorsopenri.org.
