Noctfurnal 2026 is scheduled for Jul 17-19, 2026 in Carsonville, United States.
Noctfurnal is an 18+ furry camping and music festival in rural Carsonville, Michigan. Trading the hotel ballroom for an outdoor venue and on-site camping, it builds its weekend around DJs, the outdoors, and a "fun, sun, camping, and music" vibe.

Registration is open, with an Attendee tier at $65 early-bird ($75 after) and a Sponsor tier at $100, each including one on-site camp space. A dedicated DJ lineup anchors the weekend; watch the official channels for the music roster as it fills out.

The festival leans into the outdoors and a strong music focus, with sets running across the weekend and camping baked into the ticket. As a strictly 18+ event in Michigan's quiet "thumb" region, it offers a laid-back, festival-style alternative to the convention-center circuit, ideal for attendees who want sun, sound, and a campsite among the fandom.
