LEGO Fan Expos
A fan-run expo featuring fan-created models, games, and activities.
Run by Adult Fans Of LEGO ("AFOLs") to exhibit their talents and share their passion with fellow fans. Entrance fees range around $9 to $15 per visitor.
Typical features:
- Lots of fan creations ("MOCs") big and small,
- Door prizes and raffles,
- Free-roaming, move at your own pace,
- Vendors selling old LEGO, discontinued LEGO, cusomized LEGO minifigures, etc,
- On-site cafe,
- A robotic show, or two, and
- Many exhibitor fans eager to share their fun.
There are only a handful of fan expos in the USA and Canada. They are all (with 10,000 square feet or more) listed on BrickCalendar.com.
Due to the nature of these expos - run by fans for fans - and the close-knit community, most expo organizers attend each others' shows. Although these fan expos are run by different people, from across North America, most organizers are on a first-name basis with each other, and their shows share some common exhibitors.
