BrickCan LEGO Exhibition in Richmond

Hundreds of LEGO aficionados from all over the world come to the BrickCan LEGO event to showcase their creative designs. They are also on hand to engage with the public and fellow AFOLs about their works of art. At the event there are usually a few never-before-seen LEGO models.

The exhibition part of the event is a multi-day affair. It’s a delight for fans of all ages who wander the exhibition hall marveling at the creative displays of LEGO models. Running concurrent to the exhibition most years is the BrickCan Adult LEGO Fan Convention, considered Canada’s largest such convention and launched by Adult Fans of LEGO (or AFOLs as they are affectionately known).

The public attending the non-AFOL exhibition part of the event can have fun building their own LEGO designs, learning from the LEGO masters themselves and shopping with vendors.

The public exhibition on the weekend is a great event. It’s popular with young families and their children, but also for adults. It’s amazing how popular LEGO is with adults. You must admit, though, LEGO is pretty cool and awesome, and it’s amazing what these LEGO artists can build! If you’ve never been to this event, and you like LEGO, you should go!

THE ROYAL CANADIAN CIRCUS IN 2025

Each spring the Royal Canadian International Circus arrives in Metro Vancouver for a series of shows. In 2025 the fantastic circus performs at Guildford Town Centre in Surrey from May 8th to 11th, and at the Lansdowne Centre in Richmond from May 15th to 19th.

If you use the promo code VANSBESTPLACES while buying tickets online then you receive 2-for-1 general admission. That’s 50% savings! Go to the royalcanadiancircus.ca website to book tickets.

Ticket Price and Booking

Last year general admission tickets to the exhibition on the weekend were $16.50 per person. Children under the age of 3 are admitted for free.

In 2025 the event is a bit different. It’s the 10th anniversary of BrickCan, and to celebrate the event is only for VIBs (Very Important Builders). That means there’s no public exhibition of everything that’s created at the event.

Anyone can be a VIB if they register to attend the event. Tickets cost $110 for the full three-day convention. Those who purchased their tickets before February 14th will receive a custom t-shirt and LEGO name bricks.

LEGO Event Location

The BrickCan LEGO event usually takes place at the River Rock Casino at 8811 River Road in the north part of Richmond, just south of the Fraser River from the City of Vancouver.

The 2025 event, however, happens at the Sheraton Wall Centre at 1000 Burrard Street in downtown Vancouver.

For those not familiar with the River Rock Casino, it’s right on the SkyTrain rapid transit line and not far from the Vancouver International Airport. The casino is just a two-minute drive from where the Richmond Night Market takes place in the summer and about 3.5 kilometres from the McArthurGlen Outlet Mall.

If travelling by car, there is lots of parking in the parkade next to the casino. If travelling by public transit, Bridgeport Station is conveniently just steps from the resort.

The River Rock Casino is a hotel and casino. It has slot machines and games like Blackjack and Roulette. There are also restaurants, and a theatre where shows and concerts sometimes take place. The BrickCan LEGO Exhibition happens in the theatre, but with all the theatre seating removed from the room.

Note: Strollers and wagons aren’t permitted in the exhibit hall (in years when the public exhibition happens) because of space constraints. Wheelchairs, however, are allowed.
