Fur-Eh!

About Fur-Eh!

Fur-Eh! is Western Canada’s Premier anthropomorphic Convention held annually at the Edmonton Inn & Convention Centre in July over four fun-filled days. Originally conceived by Thallanor Rasmuson in 2010, Fur-Eh! held it’s first convention in 2012. Fur-Eh! features a variety of panels, games, entertainment, dining events and more suitable for attendees of all ages, as well as featuring Canada’s only outdoor fursuit parade (weather permitting of course). In 2019, Fur-Eh! saw its largest attendance to date with 867 wonderful Guests and 233 fursuiters in the Fur-Eh! Parade! Unfortunately, due to the ongoing global health crises in 2020 and 2021, Fur-Eh! was unable to take place. However, we look forward to welcoming our guests back in 2022 with the theme of “Mardi Paws”, incorporating all the vibrant colours, sounds, tastes, and excitement of the annual event held in New Orleans! Be sure to get in on the fun; stay tuned for what is sure to be a great celebration!

Fur-Eh! is excited to announce our new charity partner for 2022, The Greater Edmonton Animals Rescue Society (GEARS). We look forward to working with them and helping to raise funds to support their operations.

Compassion motivates us to help, heal, and alleviate the pain of the animals we encounter. GEARS is a non-profit organization that relies on a network of donors, volunteers and foster homes working together to give companion animals a second chance at their forever family.
