Motor City Furry Con (MCFC)

Motor City Furry Con (MCFC) is a strictly 18+ convention held at the Detroit Marriott at the Renaissance Center in Detroit, Michigan. The 2026 edition drew 2,525 attendees and raised $35,000 for Wolf Creek Habitat, following a 2025 run that brought in 2,419 attendees and over $32,000 for the same charity.

2026: Press Paws to Start

MCFC returned February 13-15, 2026 with the retro arcade-themed "Press Paws to Start" edition. The 2026 event reported 2,525 attendees, supported Wolf Creek Habitat, and featured Pandez and Quack Quack Honk as Guests of Honor.

The convention is hosted at the Detroit Marriott at the Renaissance Center, a multi-tower skyscraper complex on the Detroit River. The weekend leans into neon synthwave aesthetics, vintage game tournaments, and a social nightlife scene that takes advantage of the venue's scale.

How Do I Get to Motor City Furry Con?

Detroit's infrastructure makes getting to MCFC straightforward:

• Flying: Detroit Metropolitan Wayne County Airport (DTW) is a major international hub, located about 30 minutes from downtown. Rideshares and taxis are recommended for the final leg.
• By Car: Situated at the heart of the Midwest, driving to Detroit is a direct route from most regional cities. Prepare for urban parking logistics once you reach the Renaissance Center.

Where Should I Stay for Motor City Furry Con?

The venue itself is half the experience at MCFC:

• Main Venue (Detroit Marriott at the Renaissance Center): Towering over the Detroit River, this venue offers views into Windsor, Canada, interconnected shopping and dining areas (like the GM World building), and a strong convention atmosphere.
• 18+ Policy: This is a strictly adults-only event. You must be at least 18 years of age to book rooms in the block or attend the convention floor.
