21st Annual Canstruction returns to Downtown Honolulu

Sep 15, 2026

Honolulu's annual food-can sculpture contest is back, good news for the Hawaii Foodbank and for anyone who wants a free downtown attraction.

  • Local architects are competing by building large sculptures made entirely of canned food.
  • The displays are at the downtown branch of Central Pacific Bank.
  • All the cans used in the sculptures go to the Hawaii Foodbank afterward.
  • Public voting for a favorite sculpture opens today.

Outlook: The sculptures stay on display through the voting period, and the food heads to the Foodbank once the contest wraps up.
