Amarillo Brick Convention
It’s back! Last year, Amarillo got its first-ever Lego convention, and it was a HUGE success. Lego and brick enthusiasts of all ages gathered at the Amarillo Civic Center to see some absolutely amazing displays and find some very rare sets for purchase that haven’t been available for years.
This year, it makes its return this weekend. Saturday, January 10th and 11th, the Amarillo Civic Center will be taken over by bricks. Each day is broken down into two, 3-hour sessions that you can purchase tickets for. The tickets are available for purchase here and are $15 plus tax.
