The GtwLUG will be one of many LUGs and individuals from around the world displaying at Brickworld Chicago this summer! While our display will be smaller than many of our in-town events, we may be displaying a portion of our renowned LEGO City that we set up during our winter Shrine event, and there will be plenty to see and do for the whole family at one of the largest annual LEGO events in the world, including over 100,000 square feet of LEGO displays, play areas, activities, and vendors. More information and advance ticket purchases can be found at the Brickworld website.

When we started our partnership with Fairy Bricks a few years ago we always intended to go into the hospitals and build with the recipients of the LEGO sets. Up until now, this hasn’t been an option due to COVID-19 protocols, but on August 11th, some club members finally had an opportunity to go in and do some building with some kids on Family Night at St. Louis Children’s Hospital. While we would love to share more photos of us building with the kids, for privacy reasons we were only given permission to post a couple of photos. By all accounts the experience was a positive one both for the families and the club members who took part.
GtwLUG is proud to announce that we will once again be displaying seven days per week this holiday season at The National Shrine of Our Lady of the Snows as part of the Way of Lights activities. We will once again be located in the Visitor’s Center. Last year we displayed our largest LEGO city ever, and we’re currently planning out this year’s array of displays. You won’t want to miss it!
Hours, directions, and a video from last year’s display are below.
November 18th – December 31st, 5:00 PM – 9:00 PM
(closed on Thanksgiving, Christmas Eve, Christmas Day, and New Years Day)
Tickets are $5 for Adults and children 4 and over (children 3 and under are free). Tuesday night is family night, and tickets are only $4. Monday night veterans and active service military members can also get tickets for $4.

On Friday, July 8th, various club members distributed donated cartons to Mercy Hospital St. Louis, Shriners Hospital for Children – St. Louis, and Cardinal Glennon Children’s Hospital. Because hospitals see an increase in other donations as we get closer to the holiday season, this will most likely be our last set distribution until next year, although we are hoping to do an in-person build event with kids at St. Louis Children’s Hospital in the near future. Thanks to everyone who has donated towards these efforts.
GtwLUG is ecstatic to be participating for the first time at Fan Expo St. Louis (formerly Wizard World), one of St. Louis’ premiere comic book and pop culture celebrations. We’ll be setting up a superhero-filled city display along with some other thematic standalone creations, and we hope you join us for a celebration of all things comics, anime, sci-fi/fantasy, and gaming.
