For the first time in Israel: LEGO Festival – A Creative Celebration for the Whole Family During Passover

What: Participants will assemble LEGO flowers and build a special flower stand. During the first two days, the stand will be built, and on the third day the installation will become a photo attraction and a source of enjoyment for the audience. In the LEGO Family Zone, children and parents will create models inspired by the Passover holiday – pyramids, pharaohs, the tablets of the covenant, the Exodus from Egypt, and Moses in the basket. Selected models will be displayed on a tiered installation throughout the festival.

A graffiti wall will be set up where children can assemble pictures and inscriptions from LEGO bricks. Additionally, a jewelry-making workshop area using LEGO stones will be established, and for the little ones – a LEGO DUPLO activity area where they will enjoy building with large age-appropriate LEGO bricks.

When: The festival will take place on April 14–15–16 from 11:00–14:00 and 16:00–19:00
