StratosFur is a furry convention held each June at the Houston Marriott Westchase in Houston, Texas, organized by B.O.O.P. (Board of Opportunity and Outreach for Panspeciesm). The 2025 edition drew 1,697 attendees and raised $16,344 for Give Us Paws, a local assistance-animal training nonprofit.
The convention leans into its "Space City" geography with aeronautics-themed lore and its aspiring-astronaut canine mascot, Laika. Running June 5-7, 2026, attendees will pivot from the futuristic sports of past years to an "An Unconventional Dungeon" theme built around tabletop and RPG culture.
The weekend features tabletop gaming, e-sports programming, cosplay showcases, and fursuit games. StratosFur continues its long-running partnership with "Give Us Paws," a local nonprofit providing assistance-animal training.
Houston's scale as a major metro area works in attendees' favor for travel:
