If you, or someone you love, is a big fan of building bricks, then you'll want to mark your calendars because Brick Fest Live is coming to El Paso, Texas to the Convention Center!

I'm always amazed at the creations people come up with when playing with building bricks. There's even an entire competition show dedicated to building brick artists- because that's truly what it is, art!

Brick Fest Live will be coming to the Judson F. Williams Convention Center on May 18th and 19th!

What is Brick Fest Live?

Brick Fest Live is a huge building brick (like LEGO) convention where those who are young, and young at heart, can build, create and just have a great time!

As you can see, the festival will feature life-sized LEGO replicas of famous characters, like Darth Vader, and play areas for anyone to give building a try in their own creative ways. There will even be a "Brick Pit" for you to take photos in; although I'm a bit weary on that one- have you ever stepped on one?!

Over a million bricks will be on display and ready for play! You'll get to engage with the most hands on attractions to show off your building skills, and even shop around for those "hard to find" LEGO merchandise.

Price ranges from $16.99 to $34.99- and you can purchase tickets here. It is a two day event which means you can plan an entire weekend around it, or just attend one day. You can find out more info here.
