Jul 13th 2025 Trade! Exhibitors, have you ever wondered why the goodie bags contain different candy? Various Bingo tiles? That's because you're supposed to get the wrong candy and the wrong Bingo tiles. The bag itself comes in red, yellow, blue, and green. You're supposed to receive the wrong color bag. Trade! You're supposed to receive the "wrong" LEGO Education poly bag (there are 3). Trade! You're supposed to get the wrong mug. Trade! Climb out of your LUG bubble and meet a stranger. |

Jul 4th 2025 Curation Exhibitors, we are now curating MOCs. We've always accepted all registered MOCs, but that is no longer an option. The Chantilly show keeps growing in popularity even after 18 years. We're not accepting any new LUGs or collabs for this show. Some themed areas are already full. Right now newly registered MOCs over a certain size are flagged for curation. Such MOCs are marked with "CURATION". When a staffer verifies we have space for the model, the label is removed. Thank you for understanding as we continue to grow in a building that isn't getting any bigger. |

Jun 29th 2025 Lights! Exhibitors, World of Lights takes place BrickFair Friday at 9:00pm. The venue lights are dimmed (as much as they'll allow), so we can appreciate the MOCs in their own lighting.

Simply bring a MOC that is lighted and you're entered. |
