General information

In 2013 father‘s day will be on the Thursday, May 9th. As it is a public holiday our father's day instore event will take place on Saturday May 11th. This year's theme is

"Act grown-up let daddy play with your LEGO®!"

The instore event will be backed by an online campaign. The online campaign will start 2 weeks before the event; on April 28th. The online campaign consists of a family videoclip competition, in which families send in their video clip on "Act grown-up, let daddy play with your LEGO®". The LEGO® online community may judge through "likes" on the winning video. The winning family may spend a marvelous weekend in Legoland.
