Open House

Question

Hi Everyone,

I'm hoping to get some good ideas on this one. I consider myself a decent spanish translator but I'm really having a difficult time with this one. Here are my ideas:Open house = Excibicion, Exposicion,
I don't simply want to literaly translate this to "Casa Abierta" but I'm looking to translate the actual concept of what open house means...any suggestions? Muchas Gracias!

I read all of the suggestions here and, for some ad copy I just decided to use the combination of Open House along with Dia de Puertas Abiertas. - DeanIngles, NOV 3, 2015

Answer 1

I work at a school district in southern CA and I have the same challenge trying to find an exact Spanish translation for "School Open House". Considering the kinds of activities, presentations, and actions performed at this type of school events, I decided to use "Exposición escolar". Hope that helps.

Welcome to SpanishDict. This is a thread from 2009, I don't think the OP is still looking for answers, but thanks for trying to help. :) - rac1, ENE 4, 2017

Answer 2

En España lo llamamos "Jornada de puertas abiertas" (Open House). Trabajo como profesora en Colorado Springs, y hoy tenemos la jornada de puertas abiertas en mi "high school".

Answer 3

In this case I mean to translate an "Open House Day at my daughter's elementary school? They have an official translator at the school but she translated it as "Casa Abierta" which I don't think it nearly translates the concept of "Open House? Now I understand there some concepts that can't be translated but I'm hoping to just see if anyone else out there has an idea... I'm always up to the challenge when it comes to translating and I like to see translated words and concepts make sense. Going back to your question...Lets say we want to have an "open house" at work which is a business and we just want to showcase our product/services/and facility to our clients....I'm still blank when it comes to translating that in Spanish :(
Thank you Natasha!

Unfortunately, I have no idea, but it might help native Spanish speakers to help you if you could clarify what kind of open house you mean. An open house day at a school? Open house for a house which is for sale? Or something else'

The expression that we use in Colombia is "Exhibición Pública" or "Exhibición abierta al público" - Solstice, FEB 27, 2012

Answer 5

As I know, the correct translation would be: "Exhibición al público" or Exhihibición pública."

Answer 6

I like all of your ideas! especially "Dia de puertas abiertas en la escuela" and using the same concept we can say; "Dia de puertas abiertas en "nombre de cualquier compania"
Gracias a todos!

Answer 7

In this context, I think the most common expression would be, "Jornada o día de puertas abiertas en la escuela".

I like that one. "exhibición al público" sort of gives the idea that anyone can come, whereas at a school open house, you really only expect students and their parents / guardians!!

I agree that "casa abierta" leaves something to be desired. The dictionary on wordreference gives "exhibición abierta al público", and you can see some alternate suggestions that have been made here:

We'll see what others say.

open house, casa abierta, invitacion al publico en general
or, recepcion al publico en general '''''''''
