Furrest City (FCFC) 2026 is scheduled for Sep 19-20, 2026 in Cleveland, United States.
Furrest City is a new furry convention in Cleveland, Ohio, named for the city's historic "Forest City" nickname. Run by a local 501(c)(3) that grew out of community meetups, its 2026 edition is Cleveland's first multi-day furry convention in roughly three decades.
Furrest City holds its first convention September 19-20, 2026 at the Cleveland State University Student Center (2121 Euclid Avenue). Two-day Attendee badges start at $45 early-bird, with a Sponsor tier at $85 and single-day passes at $35. As a debut event, the theme and guest lineup will be announced as planning continues; watch the official channels for reveals.
Furrest City is a ground-up, community-built con with a strong local identity. It revives the idea of a Cleveland furry convention decades after the city last had one, and it leans into its hometown: mascots named for a city bus route and a landmark concert, programming built around transit-accessible community events, and a downtown university venue. For furries in northeast Ohio, it's a chance to be part of a convention from its very first year.
By air: Cleveland Hopkins International Airport (CLE) connects to the city's RTA Red Line rapid transit straight downtown.
By transit: The venue is the Cleveland State University Student Center downtown, well served by RTA bus and rail; the convention has a history of organizing transit-based community outings.
By car: Cleveland State sits on Euclid Avenue downtown, reachable via I-90 and I-77. Check campus and downtown parking options near the venue.
Curated stays near Cleveland State University Student Center, Cleveland, United States.
The convention is hosted at the Cleveland State University Student Center downtown, so downtown Cleveland hotels put you within easy reach by foot or transit. As a first-year con, confirm any official room arrangements on the official site; otherwise central downtown lodging near the RTA lines is the convenient choice.
Furrest City's 2026 convention is its first edition. The organizing nonprofit has run local meetups and community outings since 2024, but there are no prior convention editions to recap yet; past-year history will appear here after the inaugural event.
