Howloween is Western Canada's ultimate spooky staple! Taking place right in the heart of Richmond, British Columbia, this wildly popular convention seamlessly merges the furry fandom with the incredible horror atmosphere of the Halloween season.
If you're tired of generalist conventions, Howloween offers a laser-focused, boutique experience. Dating back to its origins as a legendary Halloween party in 2002, the convention has evolved into a massive 4-day festival that deeply impacts the Metro Vancouver area!
Returning to the Executive Hotel Vancouver Airport for October 22-25, 2026, the convention will debut its highly anticipated "Project: CHIMERA" theme!
Don't let the "horror" tag fool you; the convention is deeply inclusive, frequently welcoming attendees to participate in everyday clothes or general Halloween costumes alongside traditional fursuits. This accessibility—combined with incredible events like massive charity auctions for the BC SPCA and movie nights—has driven attendance to an explosive high of over 1,500 attendees!
