Motor City Furry Convention is Michigan's 18+ anthropomorphic appreciation convention, for furries and furry fans alike. Come register at either Sponsor or Super Sponsor level and let our expert lounge staff show you why people come to party with us year after year. We have great panels, board games, video games, events, and so much more. This con is a labor of love and we aim to share that with all our guests. So come experience all the fun!
They say go big, or go home. I guess we're doing both. So many of you figured it out from those teaser images, but to finally confirm it..
It is indeed quite big:
Yep! MCFC is moving to the Detroit Marriott at the Renaissance Center in the downtown of Detroit.
We'll have a lot of space available to grow into. Not to mention there's a bit more parking available.
This move also brings some challenges, which we'll detail in due time, but all of those things we can work through together! The first of which...
Motor City Furry Con 2026 is shifting to a slightly different timeframe: February 13 - 15, 2026.
Yep, you can make MCFC your romantic get-away this year! Specifically those dates are...
And since I know you're going to ask, we unfortunately don't yet know what the dates will look like for 2027 and beyond.
To some degree that depends on how 2026 goes. All we can do is work on making this convention a success and try to get into an even better position next time!
It took a lot to get here. The ink is still drying on some of the contracts (I got some on my fingers). Long story short, between that taking up some time and the earlier dates for 2026, we have 9 months to do a year's worth of planning. No pressure!
With that in mind, here's some anticipated timeframes. Note these are all our best guess at this point; we'll have specific dates to you as they become available:
As always the best way to get notified of these things is to follow us on social media. Links are at the bottom of the page.
Thanks, gamers. See you in February!
Oh, what a convention that was. Now that you've had a day or so to rest and reflect on this past weekend, we'd love to hear about your MCFC 2025 experience! Or let us know if you have an interesting idea for next year.
Good or bad, let us know how your convention went:
Hello, travelers! It's almost time to start your hitchhiking journey (if you haven't already!) to MCFC!
As you pack those suitcases and prepare those adorable fursuits, here's some tips to help make your convention a success:
Here's another reminder to review the Parking / Travel page for those details, especially if you're staying in the main hotel. Remember you can get a weekend pass which will save you a few bucks if you're staying Thursday - Monday.
And, if possible, if you know anyone else nearby that's going, carpooling will help save on that cost, and ease the headache of trying to find a spot! You'll want to arrive early, in any case, as the lots are expected to fill up.
If you haven't registered yet, there's still time! The reg staff have been keeping the printers going extra long this year, and are expecting to continue printing until: Wednesday, March 26th at 3:00 PM Eastern. Which is to say if you want to be able to pick up your badge in the Thursday pre-reg line, get that registration in now! That's about 20 hours after this blog post goes out.
You can still register any time after that, but your badge won't be available until registration opens on Friday.
If you haven't been to MCFC before, badge pick-up is easy!
No need to show us any confirmation emails or such; we'll just need to see your government issued ID. We'll match it in the system, and your badge will pop right up. Clip your badge to your sleeve for the rest of the weekend, and enjoy!
If you didn't pre-reg, no worries: You can register online any time before you get to registration. In fact, you can do it in line (if there is a line) just so long as it's in by the time you get to the registration desk!
You can pay with a charge card online, or a "cash" option will be available during the convention. Day passes will be available each day during the convention if you're only coming out for the day.
Go run through that schedule of panels and events once more, and take note of anything that looks interesting to you!
And while you're at it, check out everything else under the "At The Con" menu above.
Some people really like to try to plan out every moment of their convention, down to the minute (though that often doesn't seem to work out!) Some people like to plan nothing and go with the flow through the whole weekend. I suggest the middle ground: Note down the possibilities so you know what you could be doing at any moment, and then see where it takes you. There's no wrong way to do it, so long as you're enjoying yourself!
And that's about it. If you have any other questions while you're on site hit up Con Operations, or ping us via social media or email.
Otherwise, hope to see you this weekend!
This is what you've been waiting for! And now, the MCFC 2025 schedule is ready!
Get your calendar app ready:
The video gaming department are trying to figure out which of their many games you'd want to see at MCFC! There's so many options, but only so much room on the truck.
So the team has just posted a poll where you can help decide! Check out the info on their page, and vote for the games you'd most like to play.
It's totally DDR, isn't it? Whatever it is, responses are requested by February 28th, so they can start planning transport!
