NorthPark Center is proud to host the 29th Annual Canstruction Dallas exhibit, a one-of-a-kind event where imagination meets impact. From August 30 through September 14, 2025, visitors can explore 26 science-fiction-themed sculptures built entirely from canned goods and non-perishable food items—all in support of the North Texas Food Bank (NTFB).
What is Canstruction?
Canstruction® is a global anti-hunger initiative that brings together professionals from the architecture, engineering, design, and construction industries to build massive, themed structures using canned food. These awe-inspiring creations are not only artistic marvels but also serve a powerful purpose: fighting hunger in North Texas.
This year’s theme—"May The Fork Be With You"—promises to transport visitors to other worlds, with structures inspired by futuristic landscapes, alien lifeforms, and intergalactic adventures.
Impact that Matters
In 2024, Canstruction Dallas raised over $22,000 and collected nearly 123,000 pounds of canned goods, helping NTFB provide 170,000 meals to families across North Texas.
NTFB works with a network of 500 partner food pantries and community organizations, distributing millions of meals annually. Events like Canstruction help fuel this mission—and you can be part of it. Whether you're a sci-fi fan, a design enthusiast, or simply someone who wants to make a difference, Canstruction Dallas 2025 is a must-see event. Come marvel at the creativity, cast your vote, and help close the hunger gap in North Texas — one can at a time.
