CANstruction Milwaukee 2027

Watch creativity take shape, one CAN at a time!

CANstruction Milwaukee is back for 2027, and we want YOU to be part of the action!

Join us on February 6th at the Baird Center to watch teams from across the design and construction community bring their creativity, teamwork, and structural ingenuity to life as they build incredible CANstruction sculptures made entirely from canned food.

This year's theme, "The World is Your CANvas," challenges teams to turn ordinary cans into extraordinary works of art, all while making a meaningful impact in our community. Come see the builds take shape, cheer on your favorite teams, and help us celebrate creativity for a cause!
