Norwegian Prima (departs Port Canaveral), 9241 Charles M. Rowland Dr, Port Canaveral, FL 32920, USA, Port Canaveral, US

Furry Cruise is a furry convention held aboard the Norwegian Prima, departing from Port Canaveral, Florida. The 2026 edition runs from 18 to 26 October, offering an eight-day Eastern Caribbean itinerary that blends a standard cruise holiday with organised fandom socials. As the event books a group cabin block on a regular passenger ship, attendees share the vessel with the general public while enjoying dedicated furry programming during days at sea. The itinerary visits Puerto Plata in the Dominican Republic, St. Thomas in the U.S. Virgin Islands, Tortola in the British Virgin Islands, and the private island of Great Stirrup Cay in the Bahamas. The ship is one of the newest in the Norwegian fleet, featuring modern amenities and a variety of dining options. This format provides a low-key way to socialise with the community without the pressure of a large hotel-based event. The event welcomes furries as well as non-furry friends and family members, creating an inclusive environment for all ages. Participants can explore the Caribbean ports together or relax on the deck. The group scale keeps the atmosphere comfortable and personal, making it a suitable alternative to traditional conventions for those seeking a warm-weather trip with like-minded people.

This is the event's eleventh year, continuing a tradition that began in 2015. Unlike standard conventions with fixed panels and dealer halls, Furry Retreat is a small, self-organised gathering where attendees build the schedule together. The event takes place in Group Camp Two, a scenic area within the state park known for its local outlaw history. Participants bring their own shelter and food, while the community fills the time with shared activities and downtime. The programme is designed to be relaxed and communal, with no fixed lineup. Campers post their own games, crafts, and socials on a shared board, allowing the vibe to remain informal. Standing traditions include fireside opening and closing ceremonies, Fajita Friday, and board game nights hosted by staff. Other planned activities for 2026 include a knitting circle, a Camp Chimera camper meetup, high tea, an art jam, and a movie night. The atmosphere is described as a "village-style" gathering where everyone pitches in to keep the weekend running smoothly. A car is essential for attendance, as public transit is not practical for reaching the park. The site provides kitchen facilities and water, but attendees must pack their own camping gear. Registration is available via pre-registration or at the door, with day passes also offered on-site. The event focuses on nature, friendship, and simple fun, offering a low-key escape for those seeking a tight-knit community experience away from large urban conventions.

The venue is well-connected for Bay Area travelers, with easy access via Highway 101 and nearby light rail options, making it a convenient anchor for the Northern California community. The programming leans into the mad-science theme with tier names like Lab Rat and Mad Scientist, adding a bit of character to the registration process.

There is also a Saturday-night adult-vendor window called UnderPAW, which operates in the Shopping District for those interested in that side of the fandom. The event has grown steadily over the years, with recent attendance figures around 1,700, so it feels like a solid mid-sized community gathering. If you are looking for a comfortable, social weekend in the Bay Area, PAWCon fits the bill nicely. The convention rate for hotel rooms is available, and staying on-site is recommended to make the most of the relax-a-con vibe. You can move between late-night hangouts and your bed without dealing with traffic. The charity partner for 2026 is WRAP, a local rescue organization, which adds a nice community-focused element to the event. Overall, it is a well-organized con that balances fun, socializing, and a bit of playful experimentation.

Attendance jumped significantly from the debut year, showing how fast the local scene is expanding. For logistics, the hotel sits right next to Austin-Bergstrom International Airport, making travel straightforward for those flying in. Day passes are only sold online and are not available at the door, so plan ahead if you are only coming for part of the weekend. The venue offers full-service amenities and meeting spaces sized for a multi-thousand-attendee convention. It is a solid choice for both seasoned furries and newcomers looking for a well-organized weekend in the heart of Texas.

Gateway FurMeet (GFM)

Fri, 16 Oct 2026 - Sun, 18 Oct 2026

Hilton St. Louis at the Ballpark, 1 S Broadway, St. Louis, MO 63102, USA, St. Louis, US

Gateway FurMeet (GFM) is a furry convention running from October 16 to 19, 2026, at the Hilton St. Louis at the Ballpark in St. Louis. This is the 10th birthday edition, so expect a bit more energy than usual. It is a solid mid-size event that has grown into a reliable fall anchor for the community, with the 2025 run drawing over 1,200 attendees. The venue is right in the downtown core near Busch Stadium, which makes getting around and finding food easy. The programming leans heavily into dance and performance. The headline event is Cardinal Clash, a 1v1 single-elimination dance bracket capped at sixteen dancers. You do not need a fursuit to compete, but the judging looks for dynamics and personality. There is also a strong charity focus, with the 2026 partner being St. Louis Pet Rescue. The convention has a history of raising significant funds for local adoptions, so it is a good one to support if you care about the local scene. DragonMelde is the Guest of Honor for 2026. If you are bringing a minor, note that parental consent forms must be notarized in specific scenarios, such as when a 17-year-old attends alone. It is a straightforward, well-run con that feels welcoming without being overwhelming. Just make sure you check the specific badge tiers and dates before you book your travel.
