FursonaCon (FSC) anchors the Virginia furry scene with something completely unique: deep narrative immersion! Originally spun off in 2014 by the team behind the massive Nekocon anime convention, FSC is brilliantly structured as an ongoing, highly participatory storyline rather than just a weekend of static panels.
Returning to the Newport News Marriott at City Center for its September 3-6, 2026 iteration, the convention is leaning into pure mystery with its thrilling "Murder on the FursonaCon Express" theme!
At FSC, themes aren't just lobby decorations. They are grand expeditions! Attendees are actively encouraged to roleplay, participate in themed narrative events, and solve convention-wide puzzles, creating a deeply connected, highly interactive weekend.
Beyond the incredible storytelling, FSC is completely dedicated to its local community. The convention is a massive fundraising powerhouse, frequently pulling in impressive numbers (like their $23,000+ donation) for local causes such as Second Chance Wildlife.
