Get ready for a brand-new frontier! Anthro New Mexico is an exciting inaugural project bringing the very first major furry convention to Albuquerque, serving the vibrant and wildly growing Southwest community.
Planning is fully underway for a massive debut on September 4-6, 2026. Taking place at the Crowne Plaza Albuquerque, this highly-anticipated launch will feature a wonderfully spooky "Haunted Mansion" theme. Look out for Rio the Roadrunner, the convention's brilliant new mascot!
Founded by Albuquerque locals Tetris, Victor Mutt, and Calamity Fox, the organizers aren't pulling any punches for their first year. The early guest lineup is incredibly strong, featuring major fandom figures like acclaimed author Kyell Gold, BGN, and JayJay Idingo.
Because inaugural conventions are highly dynamic, it's wise to book everything early! Hotel blocks and Dealer/Artist Alley applications traditionally launch around January, so keep a close eye on their socials.
