Philly Brick Fest, the 4-day Fan of LEGO Convention returns to the Greater Philadelphia Expo Center April 23 - 26, 2015 in Oaks, PA.

The 2015 event will boast more than 90,000 square feet of fan built LEGO creations, interactive building challenges and activities, and merchandise from LEGO resellers and customisers. The 4-day convention brings together Fans of LEGO to play games, learn new building techniques, meet new members of the community, and most of all have fun.

Philly Brick Fest is a LEGO Convention for Fans of LEGO (FOLs). This is a 4-day private event from April 23 – 26, 2015 consisting of games, seminars, building activities, giveaways, and more. Registered attendees also have the ability display their LEGO creations sure to inspire the general public. Registered attendees also have a chance to meet, mingle, and create new friendships with other FOLs. Registration is now open via the show website, and there's an early bird discount available until the beginning of January ($40 before, $60 after).

Brick Fest Live is the portion of the event that is open to the public. For 2015, there will be three public sessions: Saturday April 25th 9:00am to 1:00pm & 3:00pm to 7:00pm and Sunday April 26th from 10:30PM – 4:30PM. During the public sessions, attendees will have a chance to see the amazing FOL creations in addition to the hands-on attractions facilitated by Brick Fest Live.

Any questions about the event can be sent to [email protected]. More information is available on the show website.

This might be the first US event that I make the effort to go to, so I may see you there!

Does anyone know if there's a minimum age in order to attend? I'm under 18 but in the area and would thoroughly enjoy going

I went as a displayer last time, and it was the highlight of my year! I would highly suggest this con to any Lego enthusiast :D

Rolyat24 - Check the 'answers' section of the homepage: "Registered attendees under the age of 16 must be accompanied by an adult at all times and the accompanying adult must also be a registered attendee."

I did not make it last year but I heard good things and I'm registered for this year.
