What it was like
Furry Weekend Los Angeles 2025 brings Southern California's furry community together for a full weekend of creativity, costuming, and connection at the Hilton Los Angeles North/Glendale & Executive Meeting Center.
The convention draws fans of anthropomorphic art and character culture from across the region. Programming spans three days: panel discussions on costume construction and design, art showcases featuring dozens of independent creators, gaming rooms, a dealer hall with handmade prints and plush art, and costume contests where attendees compete for recognition in categories from craftsmanship to performance.
What makes Furry Weekend LA distinct is its community-first format. This is not a commercial expo — it is a fan-run gathering with no corporate overlay. Attendees range from seasoned convention regulars who have been attending for years to first-timers brought in by a friend. The social tone is welcoming and non-judgmental, which is why return attendance runs high year over year.
Badges available at the door. All ages welcome. Event runs Friday evening through Sunday afternoon. Hotel block available at the venue for out-of-town attendees. Check the official website for the full panel schedule and badge pricing tiers.
