Cardinia Brix is returning to Pakenham next week, celebrating its fifth annual event in town and the longhistory of Lego, which seems to only grow in popularity with each passing year.
Southern Cross Brix Inc is a not-for-profit group run by volunteers and was founded by David and ReneeHowes, and Kerry and Peter Jordan.
For their annual event, they chose Pakenham due to the family-orientated demographics of the area.
The first Cardinia Brix dates back to 2018 at the Cardinia Cultural Centre, and 2024 will be the fifthrunning of the event at the centre, with 2020 and 2021 being cancelled due to the pandemic.
This year will be bigger with extra floor space to invite more exhibitors to display their inspiring LEGOcreations.
Local builders will be present, alongside others from around Melbourne and Regional Victoria. All love totalk about anything LEGO-related, including giving any tips and advice on building techniques, and howthey bring their ideas to life in LEGO form.
The brick building area is back and organised once again by Bindy and her team at Bricks 4 Kidz. Opento all ages, builders are only limited by their own imagination and maybe a shortage of bricks!
A new addition to this year, the event will include Bricks to the World, who will be selling recent andhard-to-find/retired LEGO sets.
Another first for Cardinia Brix, is the inaugural People’s Choice award, where the public will beencouraged to vote for their favourite LEGO exhibit.
Many may have noticed the board advertising featuring the large LEGO spaceman named Buddy on thecorner of Princes Highway and Station Street, Officer. Cardinia Brix gave thanks to the team at KR PetersReal Estate Officer who generously donated the advertising board.
Whether you’re a child or a child at heart, there’s something at Cardinia Brix for everyone.
Cardinia Brix was held at the Cardinia Cultural Centre over 2024 Melbourne Cup weekend, 2nd to 3rd of November.
