MOOSE JAW — Brickspo ’25 drew crowds of LEGO lovers to the Western Development Museum on July 26 and 27 for a weekend of original builds, family activities, and community creativity.
This year’s event featured more than 330 fan-made creations, ranging from intricate fantasy worlds and sci-fi stations to pop culture tributes and pixelated mosaics. Builders from across Saskatchewan and beyond took part in the two-day showcase, with members of the Saskatchewan LEGO Users Group (SLUG) on hand to talk with guests and share tips with aspiring creators.
The event’s theme was the 1980s, and retro flair was on full display — from arcades and classic space designs to movie-inspired builds that nodded to the decade’s iconic pop culture, including Back to the Future.
One of the most anticipated highlights was Brickspo’s largest-ever collaborative build: a fully modular, minifigure-scale LEGO shopping mall straight out of the ’80s. Designed and assembled by a team of contributors, the mall was unveiled in its completed form for the first time at this year’s show. Ray Jacobs, a member of the Brickspo planning committee and SLUG board, built the mini-golf store featured in the combined display.
Now in its 14th year, Brickspo continues to grow in size and scale, drawing everyone from first-time exhibitors to long-time fans — and showing that almost anything can be made from LEGO bricks.
