Festive Bricks of Giving 2026 at Parkside Hotel & Spa

Build Holiday Memories While Helping Feed Local Students!

Festive Bricks of Giving returns to Parkside Hotel & Spa from November 14, 2026, to January 3, 2027, bringing together creativity, community and the spirit of giving in support of the Victoria Rainbow Kitchen Society’s School Meal Program.

Explore the hotel’s beautiful atrium, transformed into a festive wonderland featuring spectacular LEGO® cityscapes created by the Victoria LEGO® Users Group (VicLUG), model trains winding through miniature villages and a custom LEGO® bridge spanning the iconic koi pond.

Families can enjoy interactive LEGO® building stations, discover creative student-built displays inspired by local school meal programs and take home a special LEGO® ornament by donation.

Throughout the season, visitors can also enjoy special events, including the unveiling of a grand LEGO® creation by Canada’s first LEGO® Certified Professional, Robin Sather, complimentary photos with Santa and exciting LEGO® speed-building challenges with prizes.

Admission is free, and donations are encouraged. Every contribution helps Rainbow Kitchen provide nutritious meals to students across the Capital Regional District.

Bring your family, invite your friends and celebrate a holiday tradition that builds more than memories. Together, we’re building a community where every child has access to nutritious food.
