Richmond is first stop for LEGO's holiday workshop tour

A LEGO Holiday Workshop is popping up in Richmond this weekend — and it's the first stop on LEGO's nationwide holiday magic tour. Why it matters: The free, two-day pop-up lets fans of all ages build, play and get into the holiday spirit — LEGO-style. State of play: The workshop takes over West Broad Village in Short Pump on Saturday and Sunday (Nov. 7–8) with seven interactive, holiday-themed stations. Attendees can: 🚗 Build and race LEGO cars down ramps, play LEGO video games and create their own holiday stories. 🦌 Make a mini LEGO reindeer to take home, build ornaments for a community tree and snap photos with a LEGO Yeti. 🧱 Let little builders explore a LEGO DUPLO play area designed for preschoolers. 🎁 Post a photo of your ornament with #BuildtoGive, and LEGO will donate a set to a child in need. What they're saying: LEGO chose Richmond as the tour's first stop because of its growing presence in the region, a company spokesperson tells Axios. That includes its $1 billion Chesterfield factory and a Prince George distribution center, both set to open in 2027. "Our growing team is proud to call Greater Richmond home," LEGO said in
