2026: The 30th Anniversary (Fantastic Furry Festival)

Scheduled for the massive late-summer window of August 19-23, 2026, Eurofurence is celebrating a truly historic milestone: its 30th Anniversary!

Leaning into this monumental occasion, the "Fantastic Furry Festival" theme functions as an epic celebration of the fandom's entire three-decade history. The absolute cornerstone of Eurofurence is its theatrical programming, specifically the world-famous Pawpet Show, which regularly rivals professional theater productions in scale, lighting, and narrative depth. For the 30th anniversary, attendees can absolutely expect historic retrospectives, jaw-dropping opening and closing ceremonies, and a professional-grade dance competition that draws the best performers in Europe.

Getting There

Hamburg is a phenomenally accessible, world-class European city:

• Flying: The incredibly modern Hamburg Airport (HAM) serves as the primary international gateway. For attendees flying from outside the continent, securing connections through massive hubs like Frankfurt (FRA) or Amsterdam (AMS) is incredibly simple.
• The ICE Network: Germany's phenomenal high-speed rail network makes Eurofurence an incredibly easy train ride! The Hamburg Hauptbahnhof (central station) is a massive transit hub directly connecting the city to the rest of the continent in hours.

Accommodation

The CCH operates in seamless synchronization with the local hotel grid:

• The CCH Radius: The massive Congress Center Hamburg is situated directly next to Planten un Blomen park, creating a phenomenal, highly walkable convention bubble.
• The Partner Grid: Securing one of the official EF partner hotels provides the absolute best rates, but because the venue sits on Hamburg's phenomenally efficient U-Bahn and S-Bahn subway systems, practically any hotel in the downtown grid becomes a viable, easy commute to the convention doors.

Highlights

• The Crown Jewel of Europe: A brilliantly executed, 7,000+ attendee titan standing as the oldest and largest convention on the continent!
• The 30th Anniversary: A deeply historic 2026 celebration acting as a massive retrospective of furry fandom.
• The Pawpet Show: The legendary, world-class theatrical production that defines Eurofurence.
• Flawless German Transit: Incredible international access via Hamburg Airport (HAM) and the lightning-fast ICE rail network.
