GENERAL PUBLIC INFO
Is this event organized/run by The LEGO® Group?
No – this is a fan organized event, and is not affiliated with The LEGO Group in any official capacity. LEGO®, the LEGO logo, DUPLO, the Brick and Knob configuration, the Minifigure and LEGOLAND® are trademarks of the LEGO Group of companies which does not sponsor, authorize or endorse this event.
If I buy a ticket for one time block, can I go to another time?
Each ticket type grants specific entry times that are valid for only those listed times displayed on the ticket. If you wish to attend more than one section, you must either purchase tickets for an additional entry time, or consider registering as an EXHIBITOR. This includes the Friday night VIP tickets, which are only valid for Friday night, and not the whole weekend.
Why are the tickets limited to only specific times?
Due to limitations of the venue size and to ensure the best experience possible for attendees, we are selling tickets in designated time blocks to minimize congestion and ensure that everyone can get access to viewing the models, shopping at vendors, and interacting with the various LEGO themed experiences.
What benefits do I get from the VIP Friday night event?
The Friday night VIP Tickets gain exclusive early access during the Friday night time slot only. To be extra clear, these tickets are only valid for Friday night, and not the whole weekend. You’ll get to go behind the scenes with the LEGO builders, have a guided tour, and get first access to vendors. Plus, you will receive an exclusive free LEGO kit, event brick, raffle entry, and a meet and greet with special guests of the show!
Should I buy a ticket for the public days, or register as an Exhibitor?
For most attendees, general public admission will be sufficient to observe the models, shop, and participate in activities. Registering as an Exhibitor is right for you if you want to display models, attend workshops/events, and have full access to all sessions (including late-night social hours) over the 5 days of the Exhibition.
I bought a general admission ticket, can I display my LEGO creation?
General admission tickets do not allow you to display your LEGO creations. If you have a creation you wish to share, please register as an Exhibitor.
Can I build stuff at Bricks in the Six and take it home?
We have play areas set up for families to play together, but the bricks must stay on-site for all participants to enjoy. There are many vendors selling LEGO on site if you wish to purchase something to take home.
EXHIBITOR INFO
Why should I register as an Exhibitor?
You should consider registering as an Exhibitor if you wish to: display LEGO models, come and go at any time over the 5 days of the exhibition, attend workshops and special social events, and obtain merchandise exclusive to Exhibitors.
How do I register as an Exhibitor?
First, create an account under the Exhibitor Info menu, and then purchase your Exhibitor Registration status in the shop. Note: Our shop only allows one registration to be added to the cart at a time. For multiple people, please complete each as a separate action.
What is a Builder’s Buddy?
A Builder’s Buddy is a 5-day social pass for friends or family accompanying a registered Exhibitor. It grants full access to social events, late-night activities, and the hall during setup. It does not include MOC display space, contest entry, or a swag bag.
I am a teenager and I wish to display—can I attend on my own?
Minors under 16 must be supervised by an adult who is also registered as an Exhibitor or Builder’s Buddy. Teenagers aged 16, 17, or 18 may attend on their own. All are expected to follow the Exhibitor Code of Conduct.
My child is a LEGO prodigy and wishes to display—what do I need to know?
Minors under 16 must be supervised by an adult Exhibitor. There are no exceptions for youth under 16 to attend alone. Our goal is to make the event inclusive for all ages, though some evening activities may be geared towards adults.
Do I have to display to be an Exhibitor? Are there limits?
There is no minimum display requirement. You can register just for full 5-day access. While there is no hard size limit, MOC registration opens in May, and we will do our best to accommodate all displays in the Johnny Thunderdome.
Are there any restrictions to the content I can display?
Bricks in the Six is a family-friendly event. We recognize that art is inherently political and a form of self-expression; however, we reserve the right to remove models containing foul language, explicit nudity, inappropriate drug usage, or extreme violence/cruelty.
I want to bring my family for the weekend. Do they need to register as Exhibitors?
Anyone wishing to access the hall during non-public hours must have paid entry as an Exhibitor, Vendor, or Builder’s Buddy. Children under 3 are free.
TRAVEL & LOGISTICS
How do I unload my MOCs?
Exhibitors can unload creations at a designated area near the dome entrance and load them directly into the Johnny Thunderdome. Site maps and instructions will be provided to all registered exhibitors closer to November.
Do I need to bring my own power bars and cords?
Yes. We provide primary power drops (if requested during MOC registration in May), but you must bring your own CSA-approved power bars and extension cords (10ft+) to reach your specific table spot.
What size are the display tables?
For 2026, all tables are 6 feet long and 30 inches wide. This is a change from previous years.
What are the food options at the venue?
The hotel has an on-site restaurant and cafe, and the MOC Dome has its own separate cafe. While there are no quick-service options within walking distance, many are available within a short drive.
Is there an official hotel block?
Yes, at the Hilton Mississauga/Meadowvale for $174.00/night. Booking in our block includes free parking and guest room Wi-Fi. The link will be released shortly.
Is the venue accessible?
Yes, every room and the Johnny Thunderdome are fully wheelchair accessible. We ask that guests please leave strollers at home or in their cars to keep the display pathways clear.
VENDOR INFO
When can I set up?
Vendor registration opens in June/July. Setup begins on Wednesday, November 11th, 2026.
Can I sell non-LEGO items?
Our goal is to ensure all materials sold are made from authentic LEGO parts. Vendors can sell customized LEGO creations and select items that do not compete with LEGO (no “knockoff” brands). Non-LEGO products must be pre-approved by the committee.
Will there be non-LEGO items available for sale?
Yes and no. All items are reviewed at the discretion of the organizing committee to maintain the quality and authenticity of the show. Unauthorized items may result in vendor status being revoked.
