LEGO enthusiasts rejoice: there’s an enormous event just for LEGO fans slated for this upcoming spring in North Carolina and whether you’re a kid or just a kid at heart, this is one event you won’t want to miss. Here’s what you need to know:
The event, called BrickUniverse, takes place over a two-day span at the Raleigh Convention Center March 7-8, 2020.
BrickUniverse travels from city to city and is the biggest LEGO fan event taking place in the U.S. The only North Carolina city on the roster so far for 2020 is Raleigh.
You'll be wowed by the hundreds of LEGO creations on display including small, intricate designs all the way up to life-sized statues, replica city blocks, and themed displays like an entire collection of Star Wars items crafted from the bricks.
These awe-worthy displays are just what any LEGO enthusiast needs to inspire some creativity on their own part. Bring your camera, or be sure your phone has an adequate charge... you'll want to take tons of photos at this event.
Guests can shop from a number of brick merchants who are selling Lego®-related items. Pick up a new kit, or search for that hard-to-find item to add to your building collection.
Then, prepare to meet and greet some world-famous brick artists and see their work.
If you've ever built something from scratch out of LEGOs, then you know how much time, effort, and skill goes into each of these enormous works of art.
When you're finished viewing, head over to the Building Zone for some hands-on fun and to apply some of your own building skills. BuildUniverse is all about inspiration and the entire family will love this event.
In some cities, BrickUniverse is selling out before the event begins so consider getting tickets online well in advance of the March 7-8, 2020 dates. If any tickets remain on the day of the event, they will be available at the door. Learn more about BrickUniverse, including session times for the two-day event, on its website or Facebook page.
