ZodiaCon (ZodiaCon)

ZodiaCon is an absolutely magnificent, fiercely beloved international furry convention that completely shatters the standard urban event model! Operating brilliantly in the stunning countryside of the Czech Republic, this deeply established, long-running retreat successfully trades the concrete and chaos of a city center for a gorgeous, highly refreshing woodland atmosphere, acting as the ultimate European community escape.

2026: The Celtic Fire Dragon

Scheduled for the beautiful June 3-7, 2026 window, the 14th annual convention is returning to the picturesque Oáza srdce hotel in Horní Bradlo (near Pardubice)!

True to its phenomenal name, ZodiaCon is globally famous for its incredibly intricate, year-by-year lore revolving around zodiac concepts. After completing a massive 12-year cycle of Western astrological signs, the convention has masterfully pivoted to the Celtic zodiac. To kick off the 2026 event, they are launching the awe-inspiring Fire Dragon theme! Imagine completely escaping the loud city to spend a long, luxurious weekend with friends, fursuits, and roaring dragon aesthetics directly in the lush heart of the Czech countryside--it is a truly unique, highly immersive European getaway.

Getting There

Because ZodiaCon operates as a major countryside retreat, attendees rely heavily on the brilliant Czech transit infrastructure:

• Flying into Prague: Most international travelers will fly directly into Václav Havel Airport in Prague (PRG). From there, the transit to the countryside is incredibly scenic and incredibly cheap!
• The Rail Network: Attendees flawlessly leverage the fantastic Czech train system (České dráhy) to route from Prague directly into Pardubice. From the Pardubice transit hubs, local buses or extremely affordable group taxis complete the final leg into the gorgeous Horní Bradlo woodlands.

Accommodation

The housing dynamic focuses entirely on a massive, unified community bubble:

• The Main Venue (Oáza srdce): Booking exactly inside the Oáza srdce hotel represents the absolute holy grail of the event! Securing a room here means you are fully integrated into the convention nervous system. The hotel's setup completely allows attendees to wander from intense daytime programming straight into the sprawling outdoor areas and nightly woodland socials without ever leaving the convention's immersive footprint.
• The Celtic Connection: While the current venue is in Horní Bradlo, the convention carries a powerful, deep-rooted tradition of operating near the actual Celtic fortress site in České Lhotice, perfectly tying the beautiful, historic surroundings deeply into the convention's Celtic-zodiac identity.

Highlights

• The Ultimate European Retreat: A genuinely gorgeous countryside convention heavily built around nature, deep relaxation, and phenomenal community bonds.
• The Fire Dragon: An incredibly cool, deeply immersive Celtic zodiac theme powering the massive June 2026 event!
• Deep Historical Lore: A completely unique convention identity that ties 14 years of intricate zodiac traditions into the stunning Czech woodland setting.
• An Intimate Atmosphere: The perfect, highly refreshing break from the massive, overwhelmingly intense mega-cons of Central Europe.
