Calfurry didn't just launch—it completely shook the Canadian furry circuit! Organized by the Alberta Anthropomorphics Association, this massive new convention proved instantly that Western Canada was an incredibly underserved market.
Debuting in May 2025 at The Glenmore Inn & Convention Centre in Calgary, Alberta, the convention achieved something almost completely unheard of for a first-year event: it drew a staggering 1,168 attendees! In a single weekend, it rivaled long-running legacy events like VancouFur in scale, establishing Calgary as an immediate powerhouse destination.
Guided by their beloved mascots—Cow Gary (a bull in cowboy attire) and Rosie the goat—the convention is gearing up for its sophomore run from September 4-6, 2026. Embracing the highly energetic "Midway Mayhem" theme, attendees can expect incredible programming led by veteran convention staff, including massive dealer marketplaces, high-energy dances, and even car shows!
