Denfur (DF)

Altitude Warning

Because Denver sits one mile above sea level (5,280 feet), standard convention pacing should be adjusted:

• Hydration is Important: The thin, dry air demands consistent water intake.
• The Fursuit Factor: Fursuiting at high altitude is more tiring than at sea level. Suiters should pace themselves and use the headless lounges.
• Alcohol Pacing: The altitude affects tolerance; pace yourself at evening events accordingly.

What Are the Highlights of Denfur?

• Colorado's Largest: A 4,400+ attendee convention and the leading furry event in the Mountain West.
• Carnival Nocturne: A dark-circus aesthetic for the August 2026 run.
• Strong Urban Transit: Affordable access via DEN Airport and the direct A-Line rail to Union Station.
• The 16th Street Mall: A downtown property surrounded by restaurants and nightlife.

How Do I Get to Denfur?

The "Mile High City" provides strong urban transit:

• Flying: Denver International Airport (DEN) is a major hub with non-stop flights from many cities.
• The A-Line: A rental car is not necessary. Attendees can catch the affordable University of Colorado A-Line commuter rail, which runs directly from the airport to Denver Union Station in 37 minutes.

Where Should I Stay for Denfur?

DenFur uses Denver's downtown hotel grid:

• The Main Venue (Sheraton Denver Downtown Hotel): The hotel sits on the 16th Street Mall. Booking within the primary block keeps attendees close to the convention's activity, with large lobby spaces available for fursuit socialization.
• The 16th Street Footprint: Because the hotel sits on a pedestrian-friendly entertainment corridor, attendees in surrounding overflow properties remain connected to local food, coffee shops, and the free transit shuttles running up and down the mall.
