Based on guidance from our local government about the current status of the COVID-19 pandemic in the U.S., we have decided that BrickCon 2022 will be back with an in-person event at the Seattle Center in October. We are also going to offer a limited, simultaneous virtual event with access to presentations, interactive activities and games.
In-person attendees will be required to show proof of vaccination and adhere to the COVID-19 safety requirements established by of the State of Washington, the City of Seattle, the convention venue, and BrickCon. Failure to comply will result in immediate removal from the convention without a refund.
Updated: September 4th
This page will be updated regularly with information on our onsite health and safety protocols for this event. Our attendees’ health and safety remain our top priority as we continue to monitor COVID-19 and look to venue, local, state, CDC, and WHO guidelines to make the best and most informed decisions around onsite safety and requirements.
In order to best protect everybody’s health, masks will be required to be worn at the event. Exceptions are in outdoor spaces. Masks must be worn over the nose and mouth and must be made of a tight-knit, non-permeable material. KN95 or N95 masks are recommended. Cloth masks are acceptable. Bandanas, scarfs, and gaiters are not permitted to be used as masks. Participants should provide their own masks for the event, though extras will be available at event registration and information desks, as well as the event zone entrance areas for those that need them.
Washington State and King County Mask Mandate As of September 6, King County requires that everyone ages 5 and older, regardless of vaccination status, wear masks in indoor public settings like grocery, retail, theaters, and entertainment establishments, and at outdoor events with 500 or more people. Masks are also recommended for everyone in crowded outdoor settings.
Masking helps to protect everyone, including those that currently aren’t able to be protected by the vaccine such as children under twelve, and those who are immune suppressed. More information can be found on their website

BrickCon recognizes that LEGO is an everlasting toy: it is as fun today as it was in 1958, when the brick we know and love received its patent. There are many ways for LEGO fans of all ages to engage with and enjoy our favorite toy.
With that said, BrickCon is an event put on by adults and intended for adults and young adults. If the primary LEGO fan who wants to attend is under the age of 16, BrickCon is not the right place for them.
LEGO fans of all ages are welcome to join us during public hours (Saturday and Sunday) with a paid public ticket; the private convention is for ages 16 and up (when accompanied by a parent or guardian) and fans 18 years and older.
Limited child tickets for vaccinated children age 12-15 may be available, contact us via the contact form for additional information and requirements.
We respect and encourage builders of any age: if you are not yet old enough to attend BrickCon as registered attendee, we encourage you to come on public days, and become involved in your local LEGO group. Build, create, and when you’re old enough - we’re excited to have you join us.
