If you’ve ever scrolled through Instagram on a Saturday and stumbled upon a wild array of minifigures sporting extravagant headgear, you’ve likely encountered the magic of #Legohaturday. This weekly community hashtag is a celebration of all things headwear in the LEGO world, where builders and collectors alike showcase their most creative, hilarious, and downright ridiculous minifigure hats.
What is #Legohaturday?
Every Saturday, LEGO fans on Instagram come together to participate in #Legohaturday, a hashtag dedicated to minifigure headwear of all kinds. From oversized helmets to stackable hats, pirate bandanas to wizard caps, and even custom builds that push the limits of what “hat” even means, this tradition has become a staple for LEGO enthusiasts.
The challenge? Find a minifig, give them an epic hat, and share it with the world.
