Another Furry Con

Anthro SoCal (formerly known as Another Furry Con, or AFC) isn't just a convention—it's an absolute behemoth that exploded onto the Southern California scene! Headquartered at the Ontario Convention Center in Ontario, California, the event has shattered completely growth expectations to become a massive cornerstone of the West Coast fandom.

Meteoric Rise

Debuting in 2024 with a staggering 3,533 attendees, it nearly doubled in size by its second year, welcoming over 5,600 furs! To reflect its rapid evolution from a cheeky new launch into a mature, staple institution for local creators, suiters, and fans, the con successfully rebranded to Anthro SoCal.

This meteoric rise hasn't just been great for parties; it's a massive win for charity! In just two years, the convention's incredibly dedicated attendee base has raised over $55,000 for animal-related causes in the region.

2026: Beast Brawl

For its highly anticipated September 18-20, 2026 run, the convention is leaning into high-energy gaming aesthetics with its "Beast Brawl: Primal Fury" theme. Expect incredible fighting game-inspired decor, massive tournaments, and a sprawling, highly diverse convention floor.
