International Day of Play is a time to celebrate the power of play. It’s a time to raise awareness about how central play is to every child’s development and well-being. And it’s a time when we can come together to make sure that every child is able to fulfil their right to play. The theme for this year’s International Day of Play is “Protect play, protect childhood”. The theme is a reminder for all of us – governments, businesses, schools and families – that happy and healthy childhoods are built on play.
Hawaiʻi LEGO® Users Group (HILUG) is a group of LEGO® builders, collectors and fans dedicated to spreading the joy of plastic brick building in Hawaiʻi and further afield. From novice to expert, our club is made up of a diverse group of people that come together to create and attend events to share our love of LEGO® with each other and the public.
Aloha Bricks ’26: Stories of Hawaiʻi transforms Bishop Museum’s Castle Memorial Building into a vibrant, brick-built celebration of the islands. Created in partnership with the HILUG and middle school students from across the state, this original, family-friendly exhibition brings together culture and creativity through dynamic models, original artwork, and hands-on experiences. From beloved landmarks to native species and legendary tales, the exhibition highlights the people, places, plants, animals, and stories that shape Hawaiʻi.
