LouisiAnthro presents the next Baton Rouge convention for January 29-31, 2027 at the Baton Rouge Marriott. The same organizer's pages still reference its 2026 event, Frosty Fur Fest, which drew 515 attendees and raised $1,800 for Baton Rouge Pride.
The 2027 edition runs January 29-31 at the Baton Rouge Marriott under the theme Enchanted Furries in the Forest, according to the organizer's current homepage. Its guests of honor and charity have not yet been announced.
The convention is guided by its alligator mascot, Poncho, and is led by Louisiana-based organizers building a regional anchor convention for the deep South.
Frosty Fur Fest's inaugural 2026 partnership with Baton Rouge Pride raised $1,800 for the organization, setting a community-focused tone the convention plans to continue.
Between conventions, LouisiAnthro is holding its first Halloween party, the MaskPurrade Ball, on Saturday, October 24, 2026, from 9 PM to 1 AM at 2372 St Claude Ave in New Orleans. Tickets are $25 in presale on the LouisiAnthro website and $30 at the door.

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.
