It marks the city's first multi-day furry event in roughly three decades, filling a gap that has existed since the 1990s. The event is hosted at the Cleveland State University Student Center, a downtown venue that is easily reachable by public transit. This location is a deliberate choice, as the organizing team started in 2024 to create accessible events for the local community. You do not need a car to get around, which keeps things simple and low stress for everyone attending. The group behind the convention is a local 501(c)(3) non-profit that grew out of smaller community meetups. They focus on running fun and accessible activities, ranging from fur walks to game nights. The name Furrest City is a playful nod to Cleveland's historic nickname, the Forest City. This local identity runs through the whole event, with mascots and programming that reflect the city's character. It is a ground-up, community-built con that feels very much of its place, rather than a generic corporate affair. As the inaugural edition, many details like the specific theme and guest lineup are still being finalized. You should keep an eye on their official channels for updates. The vibe is warm and welcoming, designed to connect the local furry community while celebrating the city itself. It is a chance to be part of a convention from its very first year, helping to build something new in the region. The atmosphere is expected to be comfortable and inclusive, with a focus on community connection and shared enjoyment.

The 2026 edition features a Space Cadets theme, blending sci-fi vibes with the natural beauty of the area. It is designed for those who want a genuine escape from the city, with limited cell service adding to the off-grid atmosphere.

Expect bonfires, minigolf, movie nights, and plenty of space to fursuit or just hang out. The setting is scenic and quiet, perfect for unwinding. Since the resort is remote, you will need to plan your travel carefully. A personal vehicle is essential, as there is no public transit to this part of western North Carolina. Practical details matter here. Government-issued photo ID is required for every attendee, regardless of age, with a minimum age of 13. Lodging is booked separately through the resort, so secure your cabin or campsite early. Bring cash for transactions, as network outages are common in the mountains.

North Park Lodge, North Park Lodge, North Ridge Drive, Allison Park, PA 15101, United States, Allison Park, US

Western PA Furry Weekend (WPAFW) is a 21+ furry convention held at North Park Lodge in Allison Park, Pennsylvania. Running from October 2 to 4, 2026, this long-running event brings together a close-knit community of around 600 attendees for a weekend focused on charity and connection. It is a deliberate departure from the standard hotel convention model, utilizing a lodge setting to create a relaxed, mature atmosphere where the social experience takes centre stage. The event structure is unique because it skips the traditional Dealers Den and Artist Alley entirely. Instead, the financial focus shifts to a charity auction, which runs as a live comedy show on the final day. This approach has raised over $70,000 for local animal rescues since 2005, with the 2026 partner being Joey's PAW, a nonprofit providing custom wheelchairs and prosthetics for dogs. You also get a single Featured Artist program, with Mythic from Cleveland creating custom work for sponsors this year. Registration covers all your meals for the weekend, including Friday through Sunday dinners and desserts, plus access to the Tilted Tavern pop-up bar. Since the lodge has no attached hotel rooms, attendees book stays in the surrounding Pittsburgh suburbs and drive into the park each day. A shuttle service runs between hotels and the venue to keep everyone safe. It is a practical, all-inclusive setup that lets you focus on the fun and the fundraising.

PAWAI

Sat, 3 Oct 2026 - Sun, 4 Oct 2026

Hotel Grand Istana Rama, Jl. Pantai Kuta, Kuta, Badung, Bali 80361, Indonesia, Kuta, ID

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.

FinFur Animus is the tenth edition of a Finnish furry convention, scheduled for 8–11 October 2026 at Hotelli Tallukka in Vääksy. The event is strictly for adults aged 18 and over. This edition adopts the medieval theme 'The Feast at Tailburg' (Häntälinnan pidot), framing the entire weekend as a narrative gathering at a lord’s table. Rather than a standard panel schedule, the convention features a venue-wide adventure game where attendees use QR codes hidden around the hotel to progress through the story, fostering a communal and roleplay-focused atmosphere. The venue is a lakeside hotel situated by the Vääksy Canal, providing a relaxed setting with access to a sauna and swimming pool. Attendees are required to book hotel rooms directly with the property using a code issued during registration, with a minimum stay of three nights. The event includes a dealer’s den, an art exhibition, and a yearly charity drive supporting Finnish animal-welfare organizations. In the previous edition (2025), the convention raised €2,664.50 for the wildlife-care charity Eläinsuojeluyhdistys Kuura. Registration opens on 18 July 2026, with an early-bird discount available until 20 August 2026. The event offers three ticket tiers: a basic event ticket, a 'Knight' tier including a T-shirt and badge photo, and a 'Nobility' tier with additional perks. Accessibility provisions include free entry for one assistant for attendees holding an EU disability card with the 'A' marking, provided notice is given at least two weeks in advance. All hotel rooms were reported as fully booked as of 15 August 2026.
