BC Fine Arts Center, March 28, 10 a.m.-6 p.m.

The museum website says, “This all day Brick Building Bonanza is quickly becoming a family favorite. We fill the building upstairs and down with Brick Building Displays and interactive activities, like a free build room, where kids young and old can practice their best Brick Master Skills.”
