About Abando
Abando was the first furry convention held annually in Brazil. It was an outdoor camping event, first held in February 2008 during the Brazilian Carnival holiday. The idea came up in 2007 on the Furry Brasil bulletin board, where a call for more furmeets inspired Toboe, Reyres and Ekevoo to organize a real event. The first editions took place at a private estate near São Roque, São Paulo, hosted by Toboe, and from 2012 the event moved to Intervales State Park and finally to the Monjolinho School Camp in São Pedro. Activities included frisbee, melee, water balloon rugby, lake swimming and campfires, along with workshops, board games and movie screenings. Oby, a tegu lizard, became the official mascot in 2015. The ninth and last edition was held in February 2016 with 87 campers.
