About this Event

Join us for a Mythical Happy Hour on March 7, 2026, from 4:00 PM – 5:30 PM at The Green Dragon Inn! AIA Akron, IIDA, and Canstruction Cleveland–Akron are teaming up for a fun, impactful networking event bringing together local designers, architects, community members, and Canstruction teams and sponsors, all for a great cause.

After happy hour, we’ll head across the street to the Akron Art Museum for the Canstruction Awards Reception, from 5:30 PM – 7:30 PM. Enjoy delicious hors d’oeuvres, drinks, and full access to view this year’s creative can structures. This year’s theme, “Mythology and Legends,” showcases structures made entirely of canned foods, all of which will be donated to the Food Banks after the event. We can’t wait for you to see what the teams have imagined!

Awards ceremony begins at 6:00 PM.

Come network. Come celebrate creativity. Come support our community.
