The third annual BrickMagic LEGO Festival takes place May 19-20 at the Hilton North Raleigh/Midtown, bringing more than 150 adult LEGO builders to the Triangle to display their creations for young and old alike. At the 2-day ticketed event, presented by TwoMorrows Inc. and BrickJournal magazine, The LEGO Group will be unveiling sets from the their newest theme, Monster Hunters, giving local fans a chance to be the first to see these exciting sets up-close.

? Workshops on building techniques, minifigure customizing, and more will be featured both days.
? Kids can register in advance for one of three age groups in a Spaceship Building Contest, judged the night before BrickMagic opens.
? Parents can kick back and enjoy some quiet time while kids watch their favorite LEGO stop-motion animation videos in the theater room.

Founded in 2010 by Raleigh-based TwoMorrows Inc., BrickMagic is one of several independent LEGO fan festivals held in major cities such as Washington, DC and Chicago. The last two years have seen more than 15,000 people attend the Raleigh public event, and while BrickMagic is independent of the LEGO company, the Denmark-based toy manufacturer fully supports and sponsors the Raleigh Festival in numerous ways, and exhibits there.
BrickMagic co-organizer John Morrow notes, ?Just as our Raleigh-based magazine BrickJournal continues to appeal to LEGO builders of all ages, BrickMagic also continues to grow. We expect another tremendous turnout this year, based on how popular LEGO is in the Triangle area. And we?ve lined up even more demonstrations, workshops, and interactive building projects for both kids and adults.?
