The Delaware Furbowl is one of the largest furry bowling events in the world, a recurring evening meet run by The Furst State, Delaware's furry community. Bowl in or out of suit, cool off in the dedicated fursuit lounge, and collect a custom themed badge. It started in 2008 with about a dozen people and now regularly draws 200+ attendees.
Each Furbowl runs from 7:00 to 10:00 PM and includes three hours of unlimited bowling at Bowlerama. There's a dedicated fursuit lounge where suiters can gear up and cool down, and a custom event badge themed to each edition. Suiting is optional, and plenty of attendees bowl out of suit or just come to socialize. Every Furbowl has its own name and badge art, a long-running tradition of the series.
Admission is free. The bowling package is $20 (three hours of unlimited bowling plus the fursuit lounge), and a custom themed badge is an optional $5. RSVP in advance through FurSVP.org so the organizers can plan lane counts.
2026 schedule: June 20 (Furbowl 96), July 25 (Furbowl 97), August 22 (Furbowl 98), November 21 (Furbowl 99).
Bowlerama is at 3031 New Castle Ave, New Castle, DE 19720. It's a short drive from Wilmington and just off Route 9, with on-site parking.
The Delaware Furbowl began on June 30, 2008 as a "post-con depression" cure after Anthrocon, drawing only about 12 people to Brunswick Blue Hen Lanes in Newark. It moved to Bowlerama in New Castle with Furbowl 60 in 2017 and has grown into a 200+ attendee event held several times a year.
