About Furlandia
Furlandia is Portland's premier anthropomorphic arts convention, held each year over Memorial Day weekend in Portland, Oregon. We've grown quickly since our beginning in 2013; in 2017 we welcomed 975 attendees to the Sheraton Portland Airport hotel, our venue since 2014. That makes us the 17th largest furry convention in the world. [1]
Furlandia also raises money for local and national charities. In 2016, we raised over $1000 for Animal Aid PDX. Even after our convention is over, many of our attendees continue to help out at charity events across the country, donating money or performances.
What happens at Furlandia? Lots of fun! From art shows to panels, dance competitions to karaoke, nightly dances, and our fursuit parade, Furlandia is a family-friendly convention that everyone can enjoy. We have a Dealers' Den where attendees can buy or commission art, as well as our fursuit games and a variety showcase that's fun for all!
After curfew, we also offer a select number of adults-only panels with more mature themes in a restricted section of the hotel.
Furlandia has a different theme each year, from Adventure on the High Seas to The Age of Industry, and prizes are awarded for the best thematic costumes. Our theme for 2018 isĀ 1957: Poodle Skirts and Duck Tails! So dust off your leather jacket, brush up on your Hand Jive, and come join the fun!
