Recently I had the opportunity to attend Brick Fest, which is an event designed for Lego fans of all ages. I went with my friend Jessyca, and we had a great time!
There were a ton of builds to see, including some very large scale ones, and there were also many interactive areas. We did quite a few of them:
- Meet N Greet with two of the stars from Lego Masters
- Derby, where you build a car on a provided base and then it is raced against other cars down a short track
- Coloring with Lego markers and Lego gel pens on coloring sheets they provided
- Building a section of a mosaic based on a template you were given
- Playing in a brick pit (Jessyca did this – I don’t have a picture)
- Jessyca had a VIP ticket, so she got to do a custom build which was a little robot and get an event pin and sticker. She was able to get doubles of those to share with me.
The Meet N Greet was with Manny and Patrick from the show Lego Masters. I haven’t seen the show, but Jessyca is a huge fan and was really excited to meet Manny especially. She took a picture of me with them:
Here are some of the builds we saw:
Here is the car I built and the derby track:
Here’s my coloring page and the other swag I got:
And here is the mosaic tile I built along with a picture of the mosaic in progress:
There were other areas where you could build with different types of bricks, but we didn’t do all of them. We spent about 3 hours there, which we were happy with.
