Babyfur Con (BFC) is a 21+ convention for the Babyfur and AB/DL community, founded in 2019 and drawing 934 attendees in 2025. It relocated from Santa Cruz to San Jose, California to accommodate its growing attendance.
For its September 10-14, 2026 run, the convention continues to expand. Originating as a smaller "Cub Con" event in 2019 and traditionally held in Santa Cruz, BFC relocated to the San Jose area to move past venue capacity limits. The larger city allows for continued growth.
(Note: Registration operates on a lottery system due to high demand, and on-site registration is not available.)
BFC has developed notable industry partnerships, including with NorthShore Care Supply, which created specific character IP ("The PACK") for the event. This level of brand integration is unusual within the furry convention space.
