Brickània returns to Montblanc from October 10 to 12 with new features and a Lego contest

Brickània, the most awaited Lego construction festival in Montblanc, returns with strength after a break for renovations. On October 10, 11, and 12, the city will transform into the perfect setting for brick and creativity lovers.

If you are one of those who think Lego is not just a game but a way to express yourself, this edition will attract you with a lineup that mixes history and fun, all set around the legend of Saint George.

What changes and what remains at Brickània 2026?

What new features does the festival present this year?

The festival maintains its structure but with a redistribution of spaces that changes the usual dynamics. The old church of Sant Francesc and the cloister continue to be the epicenter, but now the Sant Jordi hall disappears, making way for an exhibition of elements of the popular entourage.

The disappearance of this hall means that three dioramas that were usually displayed there are now relocated to other spaces or make way for a new cultural experience that highlights local tradition. For example, the elements of the popular entourage, which previously had less prominence, can now be admired in all their splendor.

The old chapel of the Blessed Sacrament is also incorporated, where playful and educational activities related to Lego pieces can now be discovered, complementing the hall of the Catalan Courts. This new location offers a different and larger space for activities that seek not only to entertain but also to stimulate creativity and learning among visitors of all ages.

Which spaces remain for visitors and participants?

The cloister of Sant Francesc will continue to offer a playful space for the little ones and will host the brick building contest, one of the most awaited moments for family audiences and Lego enthusiasts.

The specialized shops will be in the old church of Sant Francesc, where nine new dioramas created with Lego pieces will also be exhibited, guaranteeing a unique and diverse visual experience. These dioramas reflect different themes, from medieval landscapes to fantastic scenes, and are an attraction for visitors of all ages.

How does this affect the residents and visitors of Montblanc?

Why is this new edition relevant for the city?

Montblanc recovers an event that not only attracts visitors but also strengthens its cultural identity, with a poster created by Montblanc illustrator Xavier Iborra, which connects with the Medieval Week and the legend of Saint George. This connection is no coincidence: the festival is framed within the celebration of the fortieth anniversary of the Medieval Week of the Legend of Saint George, a key event that marks the town’s cultural agenda.

The prominence of the dragon made of bricks and the minifigs of Saint George and the Princess on the poster reflects this fusion between tradition and modernity, a message that plays with the past and present to attract local and tourist audiences.

How can those interested participate in the workshops and contests?

Advance tickets and tickets for workshops and the contest have been available since September 1 at www.brickania.cat and at the Montblanc Tourist Office, facilitating access and planning attendance.

During the festival, a Lego product raffle will be held among advance ticket buyers, an initiative that encourages early purchase and increases public participation. This raffle creates an atmosphere of expectation and excitement that accompanies the entire festival experience.

What are the main experiences that Brickània offers?

Which dioramas and exhibitions can be seen?

Nine dioramas made with Lego will fill the old church of Sant Francesc, showing scenes that fascinate both adults and children. These dioramas invite the viewer to be carried away by stories and worlds created with great dedication and detail.

The poster’s theme, with a brick dragon and the minifigs of Saint George and the Princess, sets the tone of the celebration, clearly inspired by the legend that so identifies Montblanc and is a source of pride for its inhabitants.

What playful and educational activities are offered?

The chapel of the Blessed Sacrament is dedicated to workshops to discover how Lego can be an educational and creative tool. It is a space where children and adults can experiment, learn, and enjoy building, understanding that play can be synonymous with intellectual and social development.

In the cloister, the little ones will find a space to freely assemble and experiment, while the brick building contest becomes a culminating moment that invites participants to test their imagination and skill, generating a vibrant and competitive atmosphere that is one of the most outstanding attractions of the festival.

If you haven’t tasted Brickània yet, this is your chance to see Montblanc like never before.

The festival not only recovers an emblematic event but renews it with new spaces and a program that bets on the diversity of activities and audience, thus keeping alive the passion for bricks and creativity that defines this gathering.
