LEGOLAND Builds Tiny Pride Parade to Celebrate 50th Anniversary of Stonewall

LEGOLAND Discovery Center in Westchester has built a tiny replica of New York City World Pride in celebration of the fiftieth anniversary of the Stonewall Riots.

The Parade features little Lego people dressed in colourful costumes and waving rainbow flags while standing on floats and addressing cheering crowds.

“Playing is a universal way for every child and family to connect,” Nicholas Hurst, the marketing executive of LEGOLAND, said to NBC New York.

“LEGOLAND Discovery Center really makes sure all kids can come and not have any kind of stigma or judgement, and just be there to have a great time with their family and friends.”

“There are approximately 60,000 different Lego elements in different shapes, in different sizes and colours,” explained one of the builders of the parade.

“Each one’s unique, is important and serves a purpose… to create such vibrant art.”

The whole piece took more than 25 hours to complete.
