Get Out The Float is one of the absolute most unique and spectacularly specialized conventions in the entire global fandom! Operating far outside the traditional panel-and-dealer format, this incredibly fun gathering on the beautiful Oregon coast focuses almost entirely on pool toys, inflatables, and massive bouncy castles!
Starting as a highly successful series of local furmeets, the event officially cemented its convention status in 2024 and has been exploding in popularity ever since! Returning to the Seaside Civic and Convention Center on February 12-15, 2026, the convention will literally light up the coast with its brilliant "Biolumin-Essence" theme.
Attendees can expect a wildly different convention experience completely focused on interactive play! The massive convention spaces are typically packed full of enormous inflatables, intense rounds of laser tag, and high-energy inflatable-friendly dances.
Get Out The Float doesn't just play hard; it gives back massively! Surging past 400 attendees in 2026, the convention has become a brilliant fundraising engine for the local Sunset Empire Parks and Recreation Foundation, frequently raising nearly $5,000 to directly fund Aquatic Scholarships that help locals access municipal pool facilities!
