The Klossfestivalen, or Brick Festival, was held on Saturday with mountains of plastic bricks available for building, according to official sources. On Sunday, visitors could continue by looking at an exhibition where adult builders showed their works, as confirmed by the same sources. Attendance was high at the association's annual meeting in Örebro, and around 140 people exhibited during the weekend, the official sources reported.
The association Swebrick has 428 members, providing organizational context for the event. According to SVT Örebro, Emma Farm, the chairperson of Swebrick, described a common pattern where childhood interest in Lego fades during teenage years before reigniting in adulthood. The exact dates of the two-day event and the total number of visitors over the weekend have not been confirmed, nor have the specific works exhibited by the adult builders been detailed.
It is often the case that you have a period as a child when you have an interest. Then comes something we usually call 'the dark age', when you enter your teenage years. Then you realize that what you did as a child, it was so incredibly fun and then you start again.
Additionally, it is unclear why the Nerikes Allehanda article about the event is only accessible to subscribers, and reports of a technical error at the event remain unspecified.
