Need an excuse to build with LEGO bricks? LEGO bricks? You probably don’t—but just in case, we’ve rounded up a few special days throughout the year where you can fully embrace your love of plastic brick. Thanks in large part to social media, most AFOLs are now aware of at least a handful of unofficial (and official) holidays dedicated to the hobby.
