Everything from Spam bombs and Spam pad thai to Spam pecan cupcakes and candied Spam Hula Pie.

April 25, 2023

Hawai‘i’s biggest celebration of its favorite canned meat product returns to its street festival format this Saturday, April 29. Up and down Kalākaua Avenue, 16 restaurants will be joined by other vendors and live entertainment on three stages from 4 to 10 p.m.

But let’s face it—whether we nibble or feast, it’s the Spam creations that draw us to this uniquely Hawai‘i event. This year’s menus start with Spammy breakfast items, naturally, and run the gamut from Spam-laced nachos and sandwiches to pizza, tacos, pancit, dim sum and plenty of Spam desserts.
