The wait is nearly over for LEGO fans.
Empire Brick Con, a LEGO fan expo and the Southern Tier’s first-ever LEGO convention, is taking over the Corning Museum of Glass this weekend, Oct. 25-26.
Empire Brick Con, presented by ROCLUG and Empire Bricks NY, is a family-friendly event for all ages featuring original toy brick creations by top artists from across the United States. It will have something for everyone from first-time builders to lifelong fans, according to organizers.
The LEGO convention will be held from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. on Saturday, Oct. 25 and from 9 a.m. to 4 p.m. on Sunday, Oct. 26.
Beth Duane, Chief Marketing and Visitor Experience Officer at CMoG, said the Museum will offer an artistic and hot glass touch to the conference with special hot glass demos, games, interactive displays and more to delight the young and young at heart.
“Based on similar Brick Cons, we expect the expo to be quite popular and are thrilled to partner with Empire Bricks NY,” Duane said. “The expo is free with museum admission. More information can be found at empirebricksny.com/empirebrickcon.”
Collaborative murals and build stations will be available throughout the museum, as will brick-themed games, scavenger hunts, and hot glass demonstrations.
Vendors will also be on hand featuring new and old LEGO sets.
Duane said Expo attendance is free with museum admission, meaning kids 17 and under are free.
