I was born and raised in sunny Southern California and will never tire of the West Coast, although I spent several years living in Southeast Asia, about as far from California as you can get. Wherever I am in the world, I love straying from the beaten path, experiencing local life, and discovering hidden gems - camera in hand. The beach is my happy place and when I am not there (or writing), you will usually find me baking, watching movies, and cuddling my pugs. I have traveled around the country and around the world, and it never, ever gets old. Being able to combine my passion for travel and my love of writing is nothing short of a dream.
When I was a kid, I loved building little houses and cars with LEGO bricks, and as an adult, I am fascinated by some of the sets and creations I have seen – from old-fashioned typewriters to Van Gogh paintings to a huge model of the Titanic! If you have an affinity for these little imagination-sparking bricks, you will be excited to know that there will be an epic LEGO convention in Costa Mesa, CA, and it will be jam-packed with entertainment and activities for fans of all ages.
What is Brick Convention? Only the world’s greatest event for LEGO lovers! Founded by Greyson J. Riley, it is an event “built by LEGO fans, for LEGO fans.” Riley has been building with LEGO bricks his whole life, authored a book that tells its story through LEGO bricks, and has been organizing these kinds of conventions since he was a teen.
Attendees can expect to see the creations of the best LEGO builders on the continent in the Fan Display Zone, and will be able to meet professional LEGO artists from all over the world.
Multiple Building Zones will present fans and builders of all ages, skills, and interests, with thousands of LEGO bricks to play with and unleash their creativity.
Retailers will be selling the most recent LEGO sets, awesome vintage sets, rare collectibles, and accessories. Know a LEGO fan who won’t be at the convention? You will find tons of cool LEGO-themed gift ideas, too.
The Star Wars theme will be found throughout the event, from 3D displays to “Art On The Block,” framed 2-dimensional artworks created one brick at a time.
This Brick Convention will be held at the OC Fair and Event Center in Costa Mesa on Saturday, January 27, and Sunday, January 28, 2024. There are two sessions on each date - from 11:30 a.m. to 2:30 p.m., and from 3 p.m. to 6 p.m.
The skill and creativity on display at this convention will be simply spectacular! Will you be one of the many LEGO fans attending? Tell us what you think in the comments!
