Unleash Your Creativity at Pensacola Brick Convention
Whether you grew up building castles across the living room floor, creating epic spaceships for your bedroom shelf, or have recently discovered the fun of putting together LEGOs with your kids, the Pensacola Brick Convention has something for everyone.
Returning to the Pensacola Interstate Fairgrounds Sept. 19–20, the 2026 Pensacola Brick Convention is bringing an even bigger lineup of colorful displays, interactive attractions, hands-on building experiences and special guests from the LEGO community, including stars from the hit reality competition series LEGO Masters.
This year’s LEGO fan expo will feature more than twice as many displays as past conventions, giving visitors even more amazing builds to explore and plenty of inspiration for their own creations. With so much creativity and imagination on display, there’s something for LEGO fans of every age to enjoy.
The Brick Convention is much more than a showcase of toys — it’s part art exhibit, part family festival and part creative playground. Throughout the event, guests can explore towering castles, bustling cityscapes, intricate train layouts, famous landmarks and imaginative fantasy worlds, all brought to life one brick at a time.
These impressive creations feature tens of thousands of LEGO bricks, with many taking hundreds of hours to design, plan and build.
Unlike a traditional exhibit, where visitors typically walk through galleries and look at displays from a distance, the Brick Convention invites guests to become part of the experience. Families can roll up their sleeves and let their creativity take over in large, interactive building zones stocked with thousands of bricks.
Visitors can also join collaborative builds that grow throughout the weekend, help create colorful LEGO mosaics one piece at a time and test their creativity in open build areas where there are no instructions. Younger builders can get in on the fun, too, with oversized brick play areas made especially for little hands. With displays and activities for builders of all ages, there’s plenty of room for everyone to create, explore and play.
Another crowd favorite is the opportunity to meet some of the personalities behind the LEGO community. The Pensacola Brick Convention will feature special appearances by professional LEGO artists, accomplished builders, authors, content creators and contestants from the hit FOX television series LEGO Masters.
Guests will have a chance to meet the builders, hear about their creative journeys, ask questions, snap photos and even collect autographs.
Collectors and serious hobbyists will have plenty to discover at the convention’s marketplace, where brick vendors and merchants from across the region will offer everything from the latest LEGO sets to retired and hard-to-find collections no longer available in stores.
Visitors can browse booths filled with rare minifigures, individual bricks for custom builds, specialty accessories and unique collectibles, with something to catch the eye of both first-time builders and longtime LEGO fans. Even if you’re not looking to shop, the vendor area is worth exploring, offering a chance to discover creative, unusual and hard-to-find pieces you may not come across every day.
Throughout the convention, visitors will also enjoy colorful photo opportunities with life-sized brick creations and themed displays, making it easy to capture all the fun.
One of the things that makes Brick Convention so special is its ability to bring people of all ages together. Colorful bricks become a shared creative experience, giving families and friends a chance to put down their phones, build side by side and enjoy the fun together. It’s one of those rare events where a preschooler, a teenager and a longtime collector can all leave equally impressed.
The annual Brick Convention is also about spreading the joy of building beyond the convention floor. A portion of proceeds from every regional convention supports the Build Smiles Foundation, an all-volunteer nonprofit that provides new LEGO sets to children in need around the world and helps support orphanages in Brazil. It’s another way the fun of LEGOs can make a difference far beyond Pensacola.
This year, to help manage attendance and give guests plenty of room to explore, the convention will be divided into timed sessions throughout the two-day event.
When purchasing tickets, visitors can choose a 10 am–1 pm or 2–5 pm session on either Saturday or Sunday, with tickets valid only for the date and time selected at purchase.
Tickets are $15 when purchased online in advance or $20 at the door, based on availability.
Since sessions often sell out before the event, organizers recommend buying tickets early to secure your preferred date and time. Children 2 and younger are admitted free. Advance tickets can be purchased online at brickconvention.com/pensacola.
With creativity around every corner and something for builders of all ages and experience levels, it’s the kind of event that may leave you inspired to pick up a few bricks and start creating something of your own.
Whether you’re coming to check out incredible custom builds, meet stars from the LEGO Masters community, hunt down a hard-to-find collectible or simply enjoy a favorite hobby with friends and family, the Pensacola Brick Convention offers something for everyone.
