Hundreds of LEGO builders from across North America will gather in Mississauga, Ontario, from November 13 to 15, 2026, for Bricks in the Six, billed as Canada's largest annual LEGO fan convention and public exhibition. The event runs at the Hilton Mississauga/Meadowvale and spills into an adjacent 20,000-square-foot Sports Dome to fit the displays and crowds.
What will be on display?
More than 300 builders are bringing original creations built entirely from LEGO bricks. Visitors can walk past sprawling train layouts, detailed cityscapes, historical replicas, space fleets and pop-culture sculptures. The show is family-oriented, with hands-on play zones and activities aimed at builders of every age, not just collectors.
Graeme Dymond, a LEGO Certified Professional and the event's director, said the larger footprint and record builder turnout mean "there is something around every corner to inspire builders of every age."
Why does the vendor hall matter to hobbyists?
Beyond the display floor, an expanded marketplace gives fans access to items that are hard to find in regular retail. Booths are stocked with retired and discontinued sets, loose individual parts, custom-printed minifigures and brick-themed merchandise. For adult hobbyists who build outside official kits, that kind of sourcing is often the main draw.
How is the show giving back?
The convention has partnered with The Hospital for Sick Children, known as SickKids. A special gallery will display LEGO artwork made by patients at the hospital, and organizers are running a fundraising effort for the hospital alongside the exhibition.
When can fans go, and what does it cost?
A VIP night runs Friday, November 13, from 7:00 PM to 9:00 PM. General admission follows on Saturday and Sunday from 9:00 AM to 4:00 PM. Tickets start at $20, and organizers strongly recommend buying in advance online at bricksinthe6.ca.
