For LEGO Fans: The ‘Bricks in Florence’ 2024 Festival

 

Looking for plans this weekend? The seventh edition of the Bricks in Florence Festival is returning to Cartiere Carrara Theater- Florence Theater (formerly Tuscany Hall) on Saturday, November 16 (9 am – 7 pm) and Sunday, November 17 (9 am – 7 pm).  Tickets are free for ages five and under; a reduced price of €6 is available for ages 6-12 and for Coop Members; pricing for everyone else is €8.

One of the top highlights of the event are the BrickPuppies. This exhibition allows all children to build animals using colorful Lego bricks. Other workshops at Bricks in Florence include ‘Speed Building Races’, ‘Build Your Duck,” and ‘Build Your Minecraft World’. Additionally, the highly popular Galleria Giovani Costruttori, is back, where participants ages 6-12 can put their works on display next to ones of master builders. For those 13 and up, the ToscanaBricks AFOL Launch Pad is returning, which serves as a springboard for them to be future exhibitors of the Bricks in Florence Festival. 

For adult program attendees, three notable collaborative works made by the AFOL (Adult Fan of LEGO) will be featured at the festival. These include a LEGO castle-themed diorama and two LEGO City dioramas. Bricks in Florence will also host sales points offerinng books, mini-figures, rarities, and more. Lastly, a huge free-play area is open to event attendees of all ages to enjoy. 

A truly special aspect of the event is the Fairy Bricks initiative, which adds a philanthropic part to Bricks in Florence. This initiative allows children who are patients in Tuscan hospitals to receive donations of LEGO boxes, which will be donated by participants at the event.  (Tessa Scharff)
