Enfield LEGO Competition

ENFIELD, CT — Young builders will be asked to imagine Enfield’s future during the town’s second annual LEGO Building Competition next month.

Enfield Child, Youth and Family Services will host the competition Saturday, Aug. 8, at Enfield Social Services, 1010 Enfield St. This year’s America 250-themed challenge asks participants: “What will Enfield look like 250 years from now?”

The friendly competition is open to Enfield youth entering grades 3 through 12. The event runs from 9 a.m. to 3 p.m., with grades 3 through 5 scheduled for 9:30 a.m. and grades 6 through 12 scheduled for 12:30 p.m.

Each participant will receive a LEGO Classic box containing 484 bricks and pieces to create their vision of a future Enfield. Prizes will be awarded to winners.

Registration is required, and the entry fee is $10 per contestant. Lunch and ice cream will be provided. Families can find registration information through the event flyer or email mcaldwell@enfield.org.

The contest offers a creative local nod to a company closely tied to Enfield for decades. LEGO has operated offices in town since 1975, though the company has said it expects to wind down its Enfield operations during the second half of 2026. Patch previously reported that remaining employees will be relocated as the company shifts its U.S. headquarters to Boston.
