Wild Furloween West 2026 | Fort Worth Furry Convention Guide (WFW)

Wild Furloween West is a furry Halloween festival held in Fort Worth, Texas. Debuting in 2026, this Dallas-Fort Worth event leans into a spooky, Texas-style hoedown atmosphere, celebrating anthropomorphic art, fursuiting, and community over the Halloween weekend. The convention takes place at the DoubleTree by Hilton Fort Worth South Hotel & Conference Center.

2026: Inaugural Edition

Wild Furloween West kicks off October 30 to November 1, 2026, landing squarely on the Halloween weekend for its very first year. As an inaugural event, it positions itself as a costume-friendly, Halloween-flavored gathering for the DFW furry community and visitors from across the region.

Theme, guest of honor announcements, and registration pricing had not been published at the time of writing. Check the official site for the latest details before booking.

Why Attend?

Wild Furloween West fills a seasonal niche that few conventions occupy: a dedicated furry Halloween celebration. Holding the event on Halloween weekend means costumes, spooky decor, and themed programming are front and center rather than a side attraction. For Texas furries, it adds a fall option to a calendar already anchored by larger spring and summer cons, and as a brand-new convention it offers the chance to be part of a community event from its very first year.

What Are the Highlights of Wild Furloween West?

• Halloween costuming: A Halloween-weekend theme means costume-friendly programming and a festive, spooky atmosphere throughout the event.
• Fursuiting: Expect fursuit walks, photo opportunities, and social meetups typical of a furry convention weekend.
• Dealers and artists: A vendor area for artists and makers to sell prints, badges, and handmade goods.
• Charity: Wild Furloween West has indicated it raises funds for animal-welfare causes; the specific 2026 beneficiary had not been announced at research time.

How Do I Get to Wild Furloween West?

By air: The nearest major airport is Dallas Fort Worth International Airport (DFW), with Dallas Love Field (DAL) as an alternative. Both serve the wider metroplex, and rideshare or rental car is the most direct way to reach the DoubleTree Fort Worth South.

By car: The DoubleTree by Hilton Fort Worth South sits along the I-35W corridor on the south side of Fort Worth, with on-site parking available at the hotel.

By transit: Public transit options in the Fort Worth area are limited compared with rideshare. Most out-of-town attendees rely on rideshare or a rental car between the airport and the venue.

Where Should I Stay for Wild Furloween West?

Wild Furloween West takes place at the DoubleTree by Hilton Fort Worth South Hotel & Conference Center, which serves as the host hotel and main programming space.

• DoubleTree by Hilton Fort Worth South (host hotel): Staying on-site keeps you closest to programming, the lobby social scene, and late-night events. Book the convention room block early once it opens.
• Nearby chain hotels: Several budget and mid-range hotels operate along the I-35W corridor near the venue for attendees who want a lower nightly rate or sold-out backup.

Confirm room-block details and rates on the official website, as block pricing and cutoff dates are set by the convention.
