Spooktacufur 2026 is scheduled for Oct 24-24, 2026 in Salt Lake City, United States. Guest of honor information lists Hannimations. The charity partner is HawkWatch International and Paws With A Cause (silent auction) plus a Utah Food Bank food drive.
Spooktacufur is an all-ages, single-day Halloween furry convention in Salt Lake City, Utah, billed as "Utah's Halloween Mini-Con." It packs a full day of con programming, dealers, panels, a fursuit parade, and a Guest of Honor, into late October each year.
Spooktacufur runs Saturday, October 24, 2026 (12pm-8pm) at a new downtown home, the Hilton Salt Lake City Center (255 South West Temple). General admission is $20 with a $30 Sponsor tier, and Hannimations headlines as Guest of Honor. Tickets release in three timed drops (August 15, September 19, October 1) with no at-door sales, so plan to grab one early.
Spooktacufur proves a convention doesn't need a whole weekend to deliver. In one Halloween-season day it fits an artist alley, fursuit parade, panels, and a guest of honor, all at an accessible price and explicitly all-ages. Its charity streak is a highlight too, pairing a silent art auction with a food drive. For Utah and Mountain West furries, it's an easy, festive, low-commitment day out, and a friendly entry point for first-timers and families.

As a single-day event, Spooktacufur has no official hotel block, but it's hosted at the Hilton Salt Lake City Center, so the host hotel and the many downtown Salt Lake City hotels nearby make an easy base if you're traveling in. Its central, transit-served location keeps lodging and dining options close.
Spooktacufur 2025, themed "Pumpkin Bash," was held in late October at the Embassy Suites by Hilton Salt Lake West Valley City. The convention has moved venues each year, relocating to the downtown Hilton Salt Lake City Center for 2026.
