Playbuild

Happy World Play Day! From TED and LEGO, play@TED is a worldwide call-to-action to transform how we think about play, and we are here for it! From play-themed TED Talks to the history of toys, with resources for parents, teachers, and policy makers, there's inspiration for everyone.

Play@TED Imagination can take us anywhere.

HAPPENING NOW: Caribbean Fete is in full swing on the Claiborne corridor!

We are thrilled to be part of this dynamic annual celebration of food, music and culture.

Our Blue Block Party wraps at 4:30 but the vibes continue until 7 pm, and at 5 pm the corridor comes to life with Soca Nola DJ Nola Trini and the Parade of Flags.

Come out and join us in the Kids’ Zone opposite Lemann Playground.

Thank you BLERDfest organizers for inviting PlayBuild out to join you for your 3rd annual event!

We met so many wonderful families today, and loved seeing so much originality on proud display!

What a vibe! Shout out to Mr. TRUE who had the vision to start this event and build a fantastic team to execute it.

We look forward to coming back next year.

We are BLERDfesting! NOLA friends, come out and see us. We are at McDonogh 35 until 4 pm today!

BLERDfest is the Gulf Coast’s first and only festival of Black creativity, and we are here for it!

Deck the kiddos out in their best costumes and come on out for games, workshops, aerial cosplay and more!

Join us this weekend for back-to-back pop-up play events.

On Saturday, June 6th we'll be out at BLERDFest - the Gulf Coast's first and only festival of Black Creativity! Join us at McDonogh 35. Bonus points if you come out in a PlayBuild-inspired costume!

And on Sunday, we'll be in our usual spot on the Claiborne Corridor with our Imagination Station and Big Blue Blocks for an afternoon of family-friendly fun, food, and music in celebration of Caribbean Fete!
