Brick Blast: LEGO® Fan Convention is making its Bay Area debut on Saturday, August 22, 2026 at the Santa Clara Convention Center, and it is exactly the kind of screen-free, hands-on, “we’re definitely going to this” event that makes for a legendary summer Saturday.

What Is Brick Blast?

This isn’t your average “look but don’t touch” exhibit. Brick Blast is a full-day LEGO fan convention organized by Jared and Samantha of The Brick Team, a Bay Area-based duo who built this event from scratch, for the Bay Area community. No giant national tour. No corporate fluff. Just a deeply local event with serious LEGO love behind it.

The 2026 inaugural theme is “Out of This World” so think massive space-inspired builds, sci-fi creations, and an entire universe of imagination built one brick at a time!
