HOLYOKE –  A family-friendly Lego event is coming to Holyoke.

Matt Besterman, a public relations representative for Lego, told Reminder Publishing that the “roadshow event” will take place at the Holyoke Mall from Feb. 14 to Feb. 17.

Besterman explained, “Basically we take over a space in the mall for a weekend.” The attraction, he said, is to give people a glimpse of what Legoland New York will offer when the Goshen location opens in July.

Besterman explained the free event will feature a big istallation, “vehicles from some rides, vehicles from the Dragon Coaster, building stations and visits from costume characters.

Besterman said there will also be “several model citizens there that are eager to welcome you,” and “Lego masters to get Lego building tips.”

The event, he said, is designedhttps://www.legoland.com/new-york/ “just like a Legoland theme park – for kids and families to experience together.”

He said Holyoke was a great location for the event because it’s “situated halfway between Boston and Albany.”

“We are hoping that folks all up and down New England will visit Legoland in New York,” he explained. “From Holyoke it’s a hop, skip and a jump.”

Besterman said when the New York theme park opens, it “is going to be the largest Legoland theme park ever built” with “50 rides, shows and attractions.” He said those who enjoy the Holyoke event will most likely enjoy what the park has to offer when it opens.

“If you like what you see, come and visit us on July 4,” he said. “It’s going to be a fantastic destination.”

No location in the mall or times have been specified for the event. The Holyoke Mall is located at 50 Holyoke St. and is open from 10 a.m. to 9:30 p.m. Monday to Saturday and 11 a.m. to 6 p.m. on Sunday.
