MAW

MAW

MAW is a Southern California furry dance festival that goes well beyond the standard club night formula. Each event has a unique theme, and alongside the dance floor you will find car meets, art markets, a dealer's den, and a fursuit lounge. At 18+ entry, it is one of the few LA-area furry events accessible to under-21 attendees.

What to Expect

MAW events are themed raves with full production value. Past themes include Skynet Industries, Mighty Animals of the Wild West, Emo Night, and Y2K Furry Rave. Multi-genre DJ lineups cover everything from electronic to emo.

Venues rotate between Catch One in Los Angeles and The Compound by Dirt Dog in Commerce, CA. A fursuit lounge is available. Some events include car meets and art markets in addition to the main dance.
