About International LEGO Day
International LEGO Day commemorates January 28, 1958, when Godtfred Kirk Christiansen filed the patent for the iconic LEGO brick — a design so precise that bricks made today still interlock with those from 1958. LEGO has since become the world's largest toy company, and the day is celebrated with building challenges, fan conventions, and record-breaking constructions worldwide.
