BTR serves flights from several major hubs including Atlanta, Dallas, Houston, and Charlotte. For more flight options, Louis Armstrong New Orleans International Airport (MSY) is roughly 80 miles southeast, about a 75-minute drive on I-10.
The venue at 4728 Constitution Avenue is easily accessible from I-10 and I-12, the two major interstates that run through Baton Rouge. Rideshare services (Uber and Lyft) operate throughout the metro area.

The 2027 edition is hosted at the Baton Rouge Marriott, replacing the 2026 venue (Crowne Plaza Executive Center). Check the Frosty Fur Fest website for any convention room block codes and rates. The Crowne Plaza Executive Center hosted the 2026 debut with a 4,000 sq ft main ballroom rated for 300-400 attendees plus 1,200 sq ft breakout rooms; the 2027 Marriott venue scales the event up to accommodate continued growth past the inaugural 515-attendee mark.

3 quirks & policies that don't fit the highlights grid.
A Zero Substance Policy that bans alcohol too
Frosty's event policies bind every attendee to a Zero Substance Policy, and it covers alcohol as well as drugs: "The possession, use, or distribution of illegal drugs, controlled substances, or alcohol in Convention spaces is strictly prohibited without exception." Convention space runs dry, so the drinking happens outside it rather than at a con bar.
Mardi Gras-style outdoor Fursuit Parade with bead throws
Frosty Fur Fest's Fursuit Parade is the explicit cultural anchor, a Louisiana convention literally calling its parade "Mardi Gras Style" with attendee-thrown beads. From the official event-signup page: "Interested in walking in our Mardi Gras Style Fursuit Parade? The parade (weather permitting) will be OUTDOORS. PLEASE MAKE SURE YOU ARE PREPARED AND TAKE CARE OF YOURSELF BY STAYING HYDRATED. Throws are recommended but not required. If you need beads to throw, some will be available (supplies may last)."
Two-person directorship under "Louisiana Furry Convention"
Frosty trades as "Frosty Fur Fest by Louisiana Furry Convention", and its Meet the Crew page puts the whole convention under a two-person directorship: Thor (Co-Owner; CEO, CFO and Chief Security Officer) and Sandy (Co-Owner; COO, CHRO and CMO). Every other department, creativity, logistics, media, registration, safety, IT and HR, reports into those two.
