Fur FreNZy is a free, one-day social event for alterhuman people, kemonomimi, furries, and supporters in Aotearoa New Zealand. Its homepage identifies the first edition as a February 2025 event and documents a larger 2026 edition at BounceInc North Shore in Auckland.
The latest published edition was a two-hour social evening at BounceInc North Shore, with a check-in process tied to the RSVP list. The official schedule included a welcome and karakia, a group photo, time for guests to use the venue, an optional raffle, and a closing announcement. The venue's activity rules require covered, laced-up shoes and may require jump socks for some attractions. Fursuits are not required, and the organizer's rules focus on safe clothing, respectful behaviour, consent for photography, and venue safety. The event page warns that the venue can be noisy and may use flashing lights, so attendees who need a quieter or more accessible environment should contact the organizer before a future edition.
Fur FreNZy is free to attend, but the latest edition required an RSVP because the venue capacity was listed as 100 critters plus parents, guardians, and volunteers. The RSVP list was checked at the door and people who were not registered could not enter. The official site has not announced a next edition or a new RSVP form as of September 19, 2026. Use the site's mailing-list link and events page for the next registration announcement rather than relying on the expired 2026 form. The optional raffle was listed at NZD 5 per ticket in 2026 and supported operating costs, but that was not an admission charge and should not be treated as a future ticket price.
The latest published venue was BounceInc North Shore, 48 Arrenway Drive, Mairangi Bay, Auckland 0632, New Zealand. The 2026 listing names bus routes 83, 856, 82, and 907, with Route 83 described as the most convenient connection through Mairangi Bay. It also said parking was available but limited. The page described accessible parking but characterized the event as low-accessibility overall, with flashing lights, loud noise, and many people in an active venue. Recheck the venue and transport details when the organizer announces a future edition because Fur FreNZy is not currently tied to a permanent venue.
The second documented edition ran on September 4, 2026, from 18:00 to 20:00 at BounceInc North Shore. It was all-ages, required RSVP, and required a parent or guardian to remain with attendees under 14. The official page also documented the venue dress code, photography-consent process, accessibility caveats, and optional raffle.
The official homepage identifies February 2025 as Fur FreNZy's first event. The site describes it as a free social with a multi-artist raffle, trading table, crafts, a Nintendo setup, and a professional photographer, but does not publish an exact date or attendance figure.
Yes. The organizer described the 2026 event as all-ages, with a parent or guardian required to supervise attendees under 14 for the entire event.
No. Fur FreNZy is a social event for alterhuman people, kemonomimi, furries, and supporters, and the official pages do not require a fursuit.
No future date was published on the official pages reviewed on September 19, 2026. The organizer recommends joining the mailing list and checking the events page for future announcements.
For directory purposes, classify Fur FreNZy as a one-day social event or mini-con rather than a multi-day convention. Puzzle P4ws presents it as a social gathering and separately points visitors toward FurcoNZ for convention-style events.
