About FurJAM

FurJAM is a large yearly furry gathering in Sydney, New South Wales, usually held on a weekend of the September school holidays or in early October. It is a laid-back, outdoor, social event built around city sightseeing, a picnic and barbecue in a park and social networking. Its ideal is to stay unrestricted to a single venue, as a roving event where people choose what to attend; the main event is all-ages, with evening events for adults. It was started in 2004 by Ana and Rubberfox as a proof of concept that furries existed in Sydney, and it stayed in meetup format because of the high cost of running a convention in Sydney. FurJAM staff and other local organizers later founded the spin-off convention Aurawra.
