Furry Weekend Atlanta (FWA)

Furry Weekend Atlanta (FWA) is a completely staggering, industry-defining convention that has rapidly exploded to become one of the top three largest furry events on the entire planet! Operating directly out of the spectacular Marriott Marquis and massive Hyatt Regency in downtown Atlanta, Georgia, this 17,700+ attendee juggernaut is legendary for its wild, surrealist energy, incredible late-night raves, and absolutely massive geographical footprint.

2026: Nowhere Inn Between

Dominating the massive spring window of May 7-10, 2026, FWA is diving headfirst into an incredibly abstract, highly psychological theme: "Nowhere Inn Between"!

This brilliant "Liminal Space" concept is practically custom-built for the Atlanta Marriott Marquis, an incredibly famous, brutalist hotel affectionately known for its terrifying, awe-inspiring open-atrium architecture (often compared to the inside of a massive concrete ribcage). FWA utilizes this mind-bending venue to its absolute maximum potential, stringing dazzling lighting arrays from the ceilings and hosting massive, multi-tiered lobby raves.

The Aquarium Takeover

The absolute crown jewel of FWA's sprawling programming is their legendary, convention-wide Georgia Aquarium Takeover! Securing highly exclusive, private after-hours access to one of the absolute largest, most spectacular indoor aquariums on earth, attendees are allowed to fully fursuit inside the massive facility, snapping incredible photos against the enormous whale shark viewing tanks.

Getting There

Atlanta functions as one of the most accessible cities in the entire world:

• Flying: Hartsfield-Jackson Atlanta International Airport (ATL) routinely ranks as the single busiest airport on the planet, guaranteeing non-stop flights from essentially anywhere!
• The MARTA Rail: Skip the heavy downtown traffic completely—attendees can literally wheel their luggage straight from baggage claim onto the incredibly cheap transit MARTA rail system, riding it directly into the Peachtree Center stop seamlessly attached to the convention hotels!

Accommodation

FWA is so massive it practically requires its own zip code:

• The Headquarters (Marriott Marquis & Hyatt Regency): Locking down a room inside the awe-inspiring Marriott Marquis or the seamlessly connected Hyatt Regency puts attendees dead in the center of the massive, non-stop convention energy.
• The Skybridge Network: Because the convention requires a sprawling grid of overflow hotels—including the Hilton Atlanta and the Courtland Grand—attendees heavily utilize Atlanta's fantastic system of indoor, elevated skybridges to travel between convention venues without ever stepping outside into the humidity!

Highlights

• A Global Titan: An absolutely colossal, 17,700+ attendee juggernaut standing as one of the largest events on earth!
