Get Out The Float is a furry convention in Seaside, Oregon, distinguished by its focus on inflatables, pool toys, and bouncy castles rather than the traditional panel-and-dealer format. Founded as a local furmeet series before gaining official convention status in 2024, the event drew 407 attendees in 2026 and raises funds for the Sunset Empire Parks and Recreation Foundation's aquatic scholarships.
Starting as a series of local furmeets, the event officially gained convention status in 2024 and has been growing steadily since. Returning to the Seaside Civic and Convention Center on February 12-15, 2026, the convention brings its glowing "Biolumin-Essence" theme to the coast.
Attendees can expect a different convention experience focused on interactive play. The convention spaces are filled with large inflatables, rounds of laser tag, and high-energy inflatable-friendly dances.
Get Out The Float also gives back to the community. Surpassing 400 attendees in 2026, the convention has become a consistent fundraiser 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.
