Furry Tea Party is an open-air furry festival held in Kaohsiung, Taiwan, using the public spaces around the Kaohsiung Public Main Library rather than an enclosed convention center. The 2026 "Hunter's Feast" edition expanded to three days, reported 1,013 total participants and 346 furry registrations, and raised NTD 101,150 for the Taiwan Guide Dog Association. The event receives support from local government, with the Mayor of Kaohsiung appearing at past opening ceremonies.
Instead of using a convention center, Furry Tea Party uses the public spaces around the Kaohsiung Public Main Library. This creates a relaxed, photography-focused environment with good natural lighting. The event is integrated into the city to the point that attendees can ride the Kaohsiung Metro in full fursuit.
The organizer's 2026 closing post names the 2027 edition 島嶼之光 (Light of the Island), and the organizers' Telegram announcement sets it for February 19-21, 2027 (Friday to Sunday) at the Kaohsiung Public Main Library. It is the festival's tenth year. Registration details and the 2027 charity raffle beneficiary have not been announced yet. Furry Tea Party uses themed mascot characters (Nomu and Reim) rather than a traditional Guest of Honor. Watch furryteaparty.com for the registration window.
Drawing attendees from dozens of countries, Furry Tea Party is the only government-supported furry convention in Taiwan, with the Mayor of Kaohsiung appearing at past opening ceremonies.

Furry Tea Party 2026 ran February 27 through March 1 across the public spaces surrounding the Kaohsiung Public Main Library. The organizer's closing report records 1,013 total participants, 346 furry registrations, and 37,673 public-library person-visits; these are different measures. The weekend raised NTD 101,150 for the Taiwan Guide Dog Association through a charity raffle, alongside outdoor markets, art galleries, staged performances, and public concerts.
Furry Tea Party 2025 drew 1,215 attendees to the Kaohsiung Public Main Library. The event raised NTD 140,850 for the Taiwan Guide Dog Association.
The official 2024 archive records 349 furry registrations and NTD 120,050 raised for the Taiwan Guide Dog Association on April 13-14, 2024. The public-festival footprint included the Kaohsiung Public Library, Zone Café, TAi Urban Resort, and Kaohsiung Metro and Light Rail. The same archive separately reports 1,096 total registrations and 25,307 public participants in library statistics, so those broader counts are not treated as convention attendance.

3 quirks & policies that don't fit the highlights grid.
iPASS badge = working Taiwan transit & payment card
Pre-registered Licensed-Hunter badges and above are not con-branded NFC cards, they are real Taiwan iPASS contactless cards, the same chip Kaohsiung locals tap onto the MRT, buses, light rail, and convenience-store tills. Your con badge keeps working as a transit and payment card long after the weekend. Walk-in registrants explicitly get a "standard NFC" badge with the iPASS functionality removed, making the on-site upcharge a feature loss as well as a price bump. Master and Mythic tiers receive a "Special iPASS" with custom event artwork, and the Legendary tier's badge is a one-off YCH (your-character-here) chip drawn by an official con artist from the fursona reference you submit at registration.
Furry Yacht: official Kaohsiung Harbor charters
Furry Tea Party sanctions a paid yacht-charter track that runs all three con days from 09:00 to 17:00, departing from the TAi Urban Resort lobby out to Kaohsiung Harbor and the Sizihwan coast. Charters are NTD 40,000 to 70,000 for one to four hours, up to eighteen passengers per trip with professional TAi Urban Resort crew, fursuits welcome, and optional KTV / tea-and-snacks add-ons. Tier discounts come baked in: Master Hunters get 10% off, Legendary Hunters 20%, and the single Mythic Hunter 30%. A sanctioned harbor-yacht track as part of the official con schedule is unique in the dataset, most cons cap the "boat trip" at a one-off social meetup, not a published per-hour rate card with crew and insurance included.
Furries Banquet: 27F sky bar takeover, fursuiter bartenders
On the Sunday-night close (March 1, 2026, 18:00-23:00), the organizers privatise the entire 27th floor of the TAi Urban Resort BAR KAO, the hotel's harbour-view sky bar, for the Furries Banquet. Separate NTD 1,700 registration, 18+ only, with the con badge doubling as photo ID (using someone else's badge gets the offender added to a future entry-ban list). The night runs as an all-you-can-eat Thai buffet, a named "TailShake" cocktail menu mixed by eleven fursuiter bartenders, and two resident furry vocal performers. Private floor takeover of a real-world hotel sky bar with an in-fursuit bartender program is the structural distinctive, not "we have a bar at the dance," but "the 27th floor of the hotel is yours for the night, and the people behind the bar are wearing tails."
