Overview

Waikīkī SPAM JAM is one of Hawaiʻi’s most beloved annual food festivals, celebrating the islands’ unique culinary creativity and affection for SPAM®. Each spring, Kalākaua Avenue in Waikīkī transforms into a lively street festival filled with local restaurants serving inventive SPAM-inspired dishes, live entertainment, and community vendors. The event also supports local charities, including the Hawaiʻi Foodbank, making it both a fun and meaningful celebration for residents and visitors alike.

Participating Waikīkī restaurants will also feature special SPAM dishes on their menus from April 18 – May 3, 2026 as part of the extended SPAM JAM celebration.
