BrickUniverse LEGO Fan Convention will return to downtown Oklahoma City April 7-8 at the Cox Convention Center.

The event is building on LEGO's popularity and ingenuity with attractions centered around the popular plastic building blocks. The 2018 convention will have new LEGO attractions and exhibits, according to a news release.

At the inaugural 2017 OKC convention, the team at BrickUniverse witnessed thousands of LEGO fans show up to take part in live LEGO builds, the Building Zone with thousands of LEGO bricks for attendees to build with, and select galleries of amazing, life-sized LEGO models. The 2017 show sold out.

BrickUniverse brings in renowned professional LEGO artists from around the world. Professional LEGO artist Jonathan Lopes of San Diego, California, will showcase more than 30 of his select LEGO displays and will be at the convention all weekend. He will also talk to attendees about his life as a professional LEGO artist and how they can become LEGO master builders.
