Fauntastic is an incredibly charming and welcoming convention anchored near the historic, gorgeous city of Lyon, France. Known for its deeply inclusive atmosphere, it purposefully acts as a friendly bridge between the furry fandom and the general public!
Following up on their wildly successful 2024 "Camp Critters" theme and 2025's "Lati's Mewstery Dungeon," Fauntastic is preparing to blast off from April 3-7, 2026 with an out-of-this-world "Space Groove" theme! Hosted comfortably at the Novotel Lyon Bron Eurexpo, the five-day event perfectly mixes high-energy sci-fi party vibes with deeply relaxed, comfortable downtime.
Unlike massive, overwhelming trade-show conventions, Fauntastic shines by focusing intently on art, creativity, and simple social connection. You're just as likely to find attendees wrapped up in intense board game sessions in the lounge areas as you are to find them at the dance!
Getting to Fauntastic is a breeze. If you're flying in, the Lyon-Saint Exupéry Airport (LYS) is a major international hub just 20 minutes from the venue. Alternatively, Lyon's TGV connections make it incredibly easy to access from Paris, Marseille, and the rest of Europe by train.
