We <3 Philly.

Furrydelphia was started in 2016 by Philadelphia Natives during The Furst State’s New Year’s Furry Ball. Over the last decade, we have grown it into the area’s premiere furry convention this side of the Susquehanna.

Philadelphia has many Furries, and we love our City. We love the culture, we love the vibes, we love the hoagies, and we love Gritty.

Our Goals

Furrydelphia is a NON-PROFIT event and organization. NONE of our earnings will ever be given to any individuals for personal profit. We are all in this to benefit the community, not ourselves.

Our convention is owned and operated by Furrydelphia, Inc., a 501(c)3 charitable organization.

  • To promote a positive image of the furry fandom within the public eye.
  • To encourage the sharing of artwork and ideas, the participation in panels and skill-building sessions.
  • To encorage the creation of new connections and memories for members of and all those interested in the fandom.
  • To host a local charitable organization, with the intention of raising funds and awareness for that organization.
