More than 3,100 furries in the northeast United States converged towards downtown Stamford, Connecticut, last weekend for Furpocalypse 2025, according to the convention’s registration figures.

Furpocalypse Presents: The Midnight Dimension, the theme for this year, is an homage to the legendary CBS anthology series The Twilight Zone from 1959. Across the convention space were graphics inspired by the show’s distinct imagery, drawn by artists and guests of honor Hoosier Steyn and Clyde K. In the hotel’s restaurant, episodes from the show played on televisions; on the main event stage, a white door, emblematic of The Twilight Zone’s opening sequence, had been placed at the rear and brightly lit.

Once again raising money for Q+, Furpocalypse attendees pulled together $18,000 for the LGBTQ+ youth support organization. This is the fourth year in a row that the charity has been the beneficiary of the con.

The Colorado-based art group Animal Art Crimes returned to Furpocalypse with a multi-night popup in the underground parking garage of the hotel, sanctioned by the convention. During the charity auction, members painted on the white door, theatrically avoiding a black cat ‘hotel manager’ with a faux door made of cardboard. (The real door raised $1,800, consisting of a tenth of the total amount to Q+.)

Update 11/10 - Previous version noted 870 fursuit parade participants, it was 970 instead.

More than 3,000 furries descended on Philadelphia, PA, this weekend for Furrydelphia 2025. (Eberra Wolf)

3,777 furries came out to Center City in Philadelphia this weekend for the ninth annual Furrydelphia. Held again in the Sheraton Philadelphia Downtown hotel, this year’s theme was ‘Hoagiecon’, a spin on the east coast convenience store chain Wawa’s annual Hoagiefest.

MAJIC Records, a BIPoC music collective, was the Guest of Honor at this year’s Furrydelphia. Consisting of BlackMajic, Jaylaflame, Hidama, TheKitoDiet, FlyToTheNight, Gozi, and friends, it was started by BlackMagic at Midwest FurFest in 2021. MAJIC Records also helps run Digital Revolution Festival (DigiFest), a musical event held at various furry conventions.

At their Saturday morning panel, BlackMajic and other members recalled their history in the furry fandom and how they ended up joining MAGIC Records. Jaylaflame, for instance, told the story of how he and BlackMajic met on a basketball court when they were pre-tweens and later became furries. They also hosted a plug-n-play session Friday morning where artists shared their music, gave feedback, and networked.

Last-minute, an additional Guest of Honor was added: TEMG, a young artist and game developer, who came with his family.

Furry Weekend Atlanta CEO Ranan announced that prices for FWA 2026 ("Nowhere Inn Between") will increase twice by the time the convention happens next May. "Despite our most fervent wishes to the contrary, FWA isn't immune to the rising costs of goods and services," Ranan wrote in a letter to prospective attendees on June 30th, 2025, citing "inflation and increased tariffs [which] have impacted us just as they've impacted many of you."

Furry Weekend Atlanta finished its gathering in the first weekend in May and announced a total of 17,736. This currently makes FWA 2025 the largest in person furry convention on record by a narrow margin overcoming Anthrocon 2024’s attendance count of 17,639.

Overall growth had slowed by half from 4,693 attendees between FWA 2023 and 2024 to only having 2,715 more in 2025 than 2024. Factors at play are economic slowdown due to instability from government policies revolving around tariffs, along with a slow down of overseas visitation to the United States given concerns of more aggressive border control policies have caused concerns and issues for travelers.
