PAWAI 2026

PAWAI is a furry convention taking place in Kuta, Bali, Indonesia, from 3 to 5 October 2026. It runs out of the Hotel Grand Istana Rama, a venue that blends tropical resort vibes with local Balinese culture. This is a focused, mid-sized event rather than a sprawling multi-hall con, so the atmosphere stays intimate and community-driven. You will find a mix of social hangouts, artist interactions, and shared spaces for those who prefer a quieter, nature-adjacent setting. The location is central to Kuta, making it easy to access while still feeling distinct from the usual busy tourist strips.

The guest of honour is Agitype01, a digital anthro artist from Thailand. They are known for work on VRChat avatar projects like DRACHETYPE and PROTOTYPE, as well as concept art for the Netflix anime My Daemon. Their presence highlights the event's strong focus on digital art and character design. If you are into the technical side of furry art or just want to see high-quality digital work in person, this is a solid chance to connect with someone who has worked on major projects. The lineup leans heavily into the creative and digital side of the community.

The event is organised by Party Along with Anthro Indonesia (PAWAI), a consortium that has been active in the region since 2024. The theme for this run is Gods Paradise, which fits the island setting. It is a good option if you want a furry meet that feels relaxed and scenic without the chaos of a large international con. The schedule is short, spanning three days, which keeps the energy focused. You can expect a mix of socialising, art appreciation, and a bit of island breeze. It is a straightforward, well-organised event for those who want to enjoy furry culture in a beautiful, tropical location.
