Fur-the-More (FtM) 2027 is scheduled for Mar 19-21, 2027 in Baltimore, United States.
Fur-the-More (FtM) is a Mid-Atlantic furry convention that launched in 2013 near Baltimore and later toured Virginia venues. The 2026 "Homecoming" edition brought the convention back to downtown Baltimore at the Lord Baltimore Hotel, drawing 1,917 attendees and raising more than $25,000 for The Frederick Center.
The next Fur-the-More is confirmed for March 19-21, 2027 at the Lord Baltimore Hotel in downtown Baltimore. Theme, Guest of Honor, and the 2027 charity partner have not been announced yet. After 2026's "Homecoming" edition reunited the Mid-Atlantic furry community in Maryland, the 2027 weekend continues the convention's return to its Baltimore roots.
Reflecting the demographic of the DC/Maryland/Virginia corridor, Fur-the-More offers STEM-focused programming. Alongside dances and charity drives ($25,000+ for The Frederick Center from 1,917 attendees in 2026), the convention features STEM panels, educational seminars, and themed escape rooms.

3 quirks & policies that don't fit the highlights grid.
Two adjacent National-Register hotels run as the convention block
Fur the More 2026 splits across two co-equal hotels two downtown blocks apart, both on the National Register of Historic Places. The Lord Baltimore Hotel (20 W Baltimore St) is a 1928 French Renaissance landmark by William Lee Stoddart, 22 stories at 289 ft, NRHP #82001587, and a member of Historic Hotels of America, known for its grand-piano lobby, polished brass, and the immense Murano-glass chandelier under an award-winning vaulted-fresco ceiling.
A three-step parent-org migration ending in 501(c)(3) charity status
Fur the More publishes a richer parent-org lineage than most peer cons. March 2012: NorthEast Anthropomorphic Association (NEAA) backed the brand-new convention as the umbrella 501(c)(7) non-profit. 2015: when Fur the More moved to Tysons VA, NEAA "was unable to continue as our sponsor," so the chairs founded Mid-Atlantic Anthropomorphic Society, also a 501(c)(7).
Rangers, Chief of Rangers, and a two-tier minor-badge system
Most US cons call their enforcement arm Security (Anthrocon, MFF), Ops (FE), or Safety (TFF). Fur the More uses Rangers, with appeals escalated to the Chief of Rangers or an event chair for review, a vocabulary unique to MidAnthro events, written into the Code of Conduct''s age-appropriate-content section.
