Canstruction Boston 2026 is on view at Atlantic Wharf from Sunday, October 4 through Friday, October 23. Explore imaginative structures made entirely from canned goods displayed across Waterfront Square and Nelson Court, all inspired by this year’s theme, Fictional Worlds!

An Atlantic Wharf tradition since 2011, this friendly annual competition brings together teams from across Massachusetts to showcase their creativity, design skills, and commitment to fighting hunger. In 2025, the competition donated more than 30,000 cans to the Merrimack Valley Food Bank.

Organized by SMPS Boston, the exhibition is free and open to the public.
