Doors Open Holyoke 2024
Doors Open events across the country invite the public to see behind the doors of many places not usually open to the public. Doors Open connects residents and visitors to local places of historical, cultural, and architectural significance to bridge communities and inspire new and broader perspectives. The first Doors Open took place in France in 1984, and the concept has spread to other places in Europe, North America, and elsewhere. Holyoke is pleased to be celebrating our third annual Doors Open celebration!
The Great Holyoke Brick Race
As the name implies, a “Brick Race” involves designing and building a brick racer that is cleverly mounted on wheels and raced down an inclined track using only gravity to cross the finish line. The Brick Race will emphasize creativity and the sculptural quality of the race cars as well as making the fastest machine to cross the finish line.
International Volleyball Hall of Fame Induction Dinner & Ceremony
The IVHF Enshrinement Dinner & Ceremony is OPEN TO THE PUBLIC and pre-purchased tickets are required! Be there on Saturday, October 19, 2024 as we cheer the new class during their Hall of Fame Induction Ceremony. Guests interact with Inductees and VIP’s during the cocktail hour featuring hors d’oeuvres and a cash bar followed by a delicious full course dinner. Videos and presentations highlighting the new inductee’s careers entertain the crowd before hearing remarks from each inductee after the presentation of their rings and plaques.
