Furgeddaboutit (FURG) 2027 is scheduled for Mar 11-14, 2027 at Dolce by Wyndham. The announced theme is Cosa Nostra: This furry thing of ours.
Previously, the New Jersey furry community had to travel to Philadelphia or Boston for major conventions. Furgeddaboutit fills that gap as a locally grounded event that raises funds for local causes, including $11,899.94 for Cedar Run Wildlife Refuge in 2026.

EVERY TIER ABOVE ATTENDEE IS PRE-REGISTRATION ONLY. The convention says so twice in its own FAQ: after pre-reg closes only the Attendee level is sold, at the regular 70 rather than the 60 pre-reg rate, and Sponsor and above simply stop existing. So the decision to buy early is not about saving ten dollars, it is about whether the upper three tiers are available to you at all. Upgrading between tiers is possible but only while pre-registration is open, and only by emailing the convention with the address used to register and the one used for the Stripe payment. Day passes are on-site only, bought on the day itself.
Fairfield is in northern New Jersey, about 30 miles west of New York City:

Featured on Regular Car Reviews
Furgeddaboutit's Car Meet & Cannonball drew mainstream automotive coverage in its first year: Regular Car Reviews filmed the 2025 edition for its "Why Do Furry Conventions Have Car Shows?" video. At the 2026 edition, Guest of Honour Roxi Wheels hosted a Saturday-night panel about Cannonball racing, and the meet ran in the DoubleTree parking lot.
NFC Sponsor Wristband
Sponsor-tier registrants ($125 pre-reg-only) receive a reprogrammable NFC wristband as part of their swag bundle, alongside a con-branded t-shirt and shotglass. The wristband can be set to transmit anything an NFC tag is able to broadcast, the official copy specifically pitches it as a way to share furry contact details with a tap. Super Sponsors ($200) add a hat and backpack on top of the same bundle. No peer NJ/tri-state furcon ships programmable hardware as a sponsor incentive, the closest analogues are RFID lanyards used purely for access control, not attendee-side data.
Daytime all-ages, dance floors flip 18+ at 9 PM
Furgeddaboutit runs a split-age model: the daytime convention floor is all-ages (under-15 free with a paying adult parent or guardian), and the dance floors flip to 18+ nightly at 9:00 PM ET. The Soul Train pre-dance block runs Friday-Saturday 8 PM-1 AM as the named DJ-rotation event. The age-flip is published as a hard schedule rule, not a verbal door call, and is the rare NJ-area con that codifies both halves of the day in writing.
