From attendees
Curated stays near Barge houses near Kabala, Kabala, Estonia.
FurryEST 2026 marked the seventh edition, themed "Lucky 7," at the Kabala barge houses from July 2 to 5. The casino-and-fortune motif carried through the weekend's programming, including a Fursuit Olympics, Lucky 7 karaoke, a photo hunt with scratch-off tickets redeemed at the on-site Trinket Exchange, and a casino-style game night. The closing ceremony took place by the bonfire next to the villa barges. At the send-off, organizers announced the convention will move to a new location for its next edition.
FurryEST 2025 returned to the Kabala barge houses for a tropical beach-party themed weekend. The Estonian community gathered on the river for a summer weekend built around local food and music.
FurryEST 2024 ran July 4 to 7 at the Kabala barge houses under the theme "Furocious Covenants." Registration filled the 130-spot capacity within five minutes of opening, prompting organizers to expand the cap, and the edition's aftermovie was later posted to YouTube.

3 quirks & policies that don't fit the highlights grid.
The sauna-and-river-jump barge format, written into the CoC
The single most identity-defining fact about FurryEST. The Rules of Conduct devotes a whole `## Sauna and Swimming` section to the sauna + cold-river-jump + hot-tub deck stack that defines the venue:
Live attendee directory: every paid registrant published
FurryEST publishes a live `/attendees` directory listing every paid registrant by badge image, nickname, country, species, and sponsor star, mid-cycle 2026 showed 179 attendees and 45 sponsors visible publicly. The roster is structurally part of the registration funnel rather than an opt-in afterthought, sponsorship at €30-40 buys a literal star next to your name.
18+ floor enforced by Day 1 with EU ID at check-in, stricter than most peers
FurryEST's 18+ rule requires attendees to be 18 by Day 1 of the convention, not just by some point during the year, and EU ID card or passport is checked at registration. Many peer events accept turning 18 on any day of the con; FurryEST does not. Midnight-7am curfew is enforced in all sleeping areas including the tent zone.
