2018 FAMILY DAY WEEKEND WITH THREE FULL DAYS OF LEGO BASED ACTIVITIES

For the sixth consecutive year, downtown Sidney businesses are gearing up for another Family Day weekend of LEGO-based events. Sidney Family Days ‐ a LEGO Brick Festival will happen February 10th, 11th and 12th, 2018 from 10 am to 4 pm each day. Sidney restaurants and businesses will be open to welcome families. The theme this year is SPORTS & RECREATION and back once again is Robin Sather, Canada’s only certified LEGO professional. This year Robin will build an incredible 6-foot LEGO hockey goalie structure. Saturday the fun will start with the launch of the LEGO brick scavenger hunt throughout downtown Sidney. Maps will be available at the Sidney Museum and event locations for avid hunters to begin their quest. The Shaw Centre for the Salish Sea will have underwater LEGO and VicLUG will have an intricate display of LEGO creations at the Sidney Pier Hotel all weekend. The Star Cinema will be showing the Peter Rabbit during the weekend as well! On Sunday & Monday, all the fun continues as Robin completes construction of his work of art at the Mary Winspear Centre. Visitors will help Robin build a giant LEGO mosaic. The Mary Winspear Centre will also have LEGO play areas for all ages and a community open house where families can learn about the activities available to family and youth in the Sidney area. Take the children, grandchildren, nieces and nephews of all ages out to explore Sidney in search of exciting LEGO displays, and enter your completed treasure map at the Sidney Museum for a chance to win an awesome prize. Watch for draw boxes and door prize opportunities for fabulous LEGO prizes all weekend.
