BrickFair VA will be held from July 30 to August 3, Wednesday through Sunday, at the Dulles Expo in Chantilly VA, in 2025. http://www.brickfair.com
Registration is not up yet. The top item on the News page, which has been there since September, says that we should expect it in January, but only if the contract with the venue is signed by then. (I don’t know what the holdup is; in the past, we could sign up the day after the previous one ended.) There won’t be hotel reservation through the site until registration is open.
It is likely that, for the third consecutive year, Steel City LUG will have our own display area at the venue. *** We want to submit our table request sometime in March *** This means that, although the event may seem far away, if you plan to take part, the time to start thinking about your build is this winter.
We will create a spreadsheet for table requests and then come up with a plan based on that. Unless somebody has other suggestions, I am thinking the spreadsheet will close either March 9 or 16. I will be attending Fredericksburg next year, so I would like to get it submitted before the week of the 24th, even though Todd probably won’t look at it much until after FXBG.
We also need somebody to be the group leader. In ’23 it was Krista and in ’24 it was me. I can help out, especially with coming up with and drawing table plans, but I am doing GBC for this event, so I will not be displaying or spending much time in our area in ’25, and I will not be able to be in the area right at noon on Wednesday. So volunteers are welcome.
This event is also on the agenda for the Q4 meeting on Saturday, and I plan to be there, so I can answer any questions at that time as well.
I am thinking the spreadsheet will close either March 9 or 16.
I think this is a good timeline.
Subbed. I already have the week off for this event so I will be attending. I will be down for at least one 8ft table. I will likely do what I did last year and just take the same stuff to both Chantilly and Erie if I am being completely honest.
As far as the timeline for submitting a table layout, I think that is completely acceptable.
New member here and new to BrickFair…the website shows a fair in Fredericksburg on March 29-30, 2025. So is it that there also another one at Dulles on the dates you mentioned?
Does anyone go to the Fredericksburg one?
Thanks!

The Chantilly one is the big one, and has been running since 2008. Off the top of my head, the LUG had eleven members in our display area in 2024.
The Fredericksburg one is smaller and is an hour farther away by car. To my knowledge, the only person in the group who has gone to it is me, in 2023. I am registered for 2025 and there is a thread for it:
