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!
Now that you've had a day or two to rest and reflect, we'd like to hear about your MCFC 2022 experience! Or let us know if you have an interesting idea for next year.
Good or bad, let us know how your convention went:
COVID-19 Policy Update
Today we would like to inform you of the recent changes to our COVID-19 policy. In response to the declining rate of infection and recent changes to CDC masking guidelines, MCFC has chosen to return to a policy, similar to last year, of strongly recommending but not requiring masks in most areas of the convention space.
There will be some exceptions to this policy such as Main Events, Secondary Events, Registration, and the Dealers Den where we will require that you to continue to mask up due to the nature of those venues. There are some other activities that may require masks and signage will be provided to remind you of the locations where masks will be required. In other areas the choice will be up to you, your personal situation, and your comfort level. We still highly recommend masking in general as an extra safety measure and ask you to use sound judgment and courtesy to others in all areas of the convention space. We aim to offer a safe yet relaxed environment to enjoy the social aspect of the furry fandom. We ask for your understanding that, like most things during this pandemic, these requirements are subject to change dependent on Covid conditions in our area.
We will, however, still require proof of vaccination to attend the convention this year, as vaccination continues to be the most effective way to reduce the risk of infection and the severity of COVID-19.
We look forward to welcoming you to our convention this year and allowing you to experience an enjoyable break from everyday life during these trying times.
MCFC 2022 Status: Go
It’s February! And MCFC happens in March! Granted we’re at the very beginning of February, and MCFC is at the end of March. But still, it feels like we’re nearly there!
We’ve been so busy getting everything ready here; are you ready for the convention?
Our vaccination policy is unchanged. You'll of course need to be fully vaccinated to attend.
We are not at the moment requiring boosters. (Though if you’re ready, go ahead and get one anyway; as we said before, please don’t base your health decisions on what a random furry convention minimally requires.)
Again, you're considered fully vaccinated 2 weeks after your final dose of the primary series. That means if you've not been vaccinated the final day for that last shot is March 10th.
If you're looking to get one of the 2-dose series vaccines (such as the Pfizer or Moderna vaccines) there's usually a 3 or 4 week wait between the 1st and 2nd dose. As such, you'll want to target your first dose for early February – like, now.
They're still available free of charge, and probably at a location close to you!
The types of proof we will accept is at this time still the same as before. The list includes but may not be limited to:
When you get to the con, be prepared to show your documentation to registration staff in order to receive your badge. We will not retain any of the documentation, or record any of the information. Just, no proof, no badge. And please don't send it to us ahead of time.
If you’re traveling internationally to attend MCFC, you may need to take a COVID-19 test before you travel. The nearest location that provides PCR tests is:
CVS on Whittaker Rd (About 1.5 miles away from the convention)
Please confirm the requirements both to and from your country of origin, and plan ahead! Figure out what requirements you’ll have to meet and when so that your trip goes as smoothly as possible!
If you're not traveling internationally and just want to know before the convention (a very good thing) testing is available all over. You can also place an order for 4 free at-home testing kits delivered by mail through the USPS so you have them available.
We’ve learned many things while enduring this pandemic. I’m sure we all have. One of those things is that situations may change on a week to week, sometimes day to day basis.
We’re trying our best to surprise you with as few changes as needed. If you’re the optimistic type, perhaps we’ll see the numbers dramatically improve and we’ll be able to ease up on the mask restrictions.
If you’re worried about things going the other way, for example booster shots becoming necessary, as stated before we aim to not introduce any new requirements after February 24th. We’ll try our best to have our policy locked in, and not make any more restrictive changes after that.

Right about half an hour from this post, hotel rooms will be available on the hotel page:
Even if you're here a little early, please give the information there a read! There's a few details on there, like the 1 day deposit to hold the room, that we want to make sure you're aware of! And, good luck!

Thank you for your patience while we work through a few items with our hotel! We're now nearly set, and now have a [new*] date for when the hotel reservation link will be ready and available:
Monday, January 17th, 2022 at Noon, 12:00 PM Eastern
As usual, the link will be made available on the Hotel page via a scheduled update. We don't anticipate a huge rush, but if you want to be there the moment it opens, that's when!
(* The Twitters originally said we'd be opening on the 10th, but some things got in the way of that. If you were planning on that, please update your calendar with the new time!)
