RenLUG – Central Florida’s LEGO® User Group

An inclusive adult LEGO® community for serious builders, creators, and collaborators inspiring builders since 2019.

RenLUG brings Adult Fans of LEGO® (AFOLs) together to build, learn, and share — from personal MOCs to large-scale collaborative creations, public exhibitions, hands-on STEM programs for kids and families, and community partnerships across Central Florida.

Wherever we can, RenLUG puts bricks in people’s hands — not just on display. Our Play Brick Build Zone lets visitors free build or tackle creative challenges, while Royal Rally Racing has kids — and more than a few adults — designing and racing their own LEGO® gravity cars.

RenLUG serves the greater Orlando metro region — core membership in Seminole, Orange & Lake Counties, with programs and events spanning nine counties and 9,500+ square miles across Central Florida. See our full service area →

Empowering Creativity Across Central Florida

Renaissance Lego User Group Inc maintains its core membership within three counties in the heart of Central Florida, with active outreach and programming extending across nine counties throughout the greater Orlando metro region and beyond.

Our local focus is intentional. Florida is a large state — large enough that no single LEGO® community can maintain a genuine neighborhood feel across all of it. RenLUG’s three-county core keeps meetings accessible, travel times reasonable, and our programs responsive to the specific communities we serve. That community-rooted identity is what makes RenLUG feel like a local group, not just a regional one.

That local core sits within a broader footprint that might surprise people unfamiliar with Florida’s geography. Our nine-county service area spans more than 9,500 square miles — larger than the entire state of New Hampshire, and approaching the size of Vermont. Within that area, communities can be an hour or more apart even within the same metro region. Scale like that isn’t a reason for one group to stretch thin trying to cover everything — it’s a reason for strong, locally-rooted communities to grow where they’re planted.

RenLUG believes in collaboration, not competition. We actively work alongside fellow Florida LEGO® groups including Lego Ladies of Tampa Bay, North Florida LUG, South Florida LUG, Tampa Bay LUG and we’re proud to partner with Deaf Brick That! — a worldwide LEGO® community serving the Deaf and hard of hearing — reflecting our commitment to making LEGO® creativity welcoming and accessible to everyone. Together we support each other’s events and share the goal of growing the hobby across Florida and beyond. A thriving local community in Central Florida doesn’t take anything away from the broader LEGO® ecosystem — it strengthens it. The LEGO® hobby is big enough, and Florida certainly is, for everyone to build together.

Since 2019, RenLUG has documented 13,180+ direct community engagements across our nine-county, 9,500+ square mile service area — a number that grows every year.
