Melbourne Fur Con (MFC)

Melbourne Fur Con (MFC) runs from 19 to 22 February 2027 at the Novotel Melbourne Preston. This all-ages furry convention in Melbourne has grown significantly since its early days in a scout hall, now welcoming over a thousand attendees each year. The 2027 edition carries the theme Realms Below, inviting everyone to explore new creative directions in a supportive environment.

The venue is a modern hotel with convention space on-site, so you do not need to commute between rooms. Preston is well connected to the city centre via the Mernda railway line, making it easy to reach from Melbourne Airport or the CBD. Registration is pre-purchase only, so plan ahead to secure your spot. The team maintains strict safety standards, including mandatory masks in the Dealers Den to keep the space comfortable for everyone.

MFC is known for its welcoming atmosphere and strong community focus. Past editions have featured live charity partners, such as local bird rescues, bringing real animals and stories to the floor. The convention publishes detailed costume guidelines each year to ensure themes remain respectful and inclusive. Whether you are a seasoned fursuiter or attending for the first time, the event aims to be a friendly, practical space for the southeast Australian furry community.
