Fur-the-More (FtM) 2027

Fur-the-More (FtM) is a Mid-Atlantic furry convention happening April 2-5, 2027, in Baltimore. The 2027 edition carries the theme "A Night on Broadway," so expect a spotlight on performance and stage energy. This is the same long-running event that brought the community back to its roots in downtown Baltimore after years in Virginia, and it keeps that warm, homecoming feel alive.

The venue is a proper pair of historic hotels: the Lord Baltimore Hotel and Hotel Monaco, both on the National Register of Historic Places. You get the grand-piano lobby, the Murano-glass chandelier, and the kind of polished brass that makes a convention floor feel a little more special. It is a solid size, drawing close to two thousand attendees, so there is plenty of room for panels, dances, and the usual convention chaos without feeling cramped.

Programming leans into STEM alongside the standard fare, with panels, educational seminars, and themed escape rooms. The event also has a consistent charity focus, raising funds for local LGBTQ+ organizations like The Frederick Center. Registration is open, and the limited Backer, Sponsor, and Raven God slots fill quickly, so it is worth looking at those tiers early. It is a comfortable, well-run con that feels like a proper community gathering rather than just a badge swap.
