About Motor City Furry Con

Motor City Furry Con (MCFC) is an annual 18+ furry convention in the Detroit, Michigan, area, organized by Motor City Furry Convention, Inc. It was created in 2014 to take the same time and hotel as Furry Connection North, which ended in 2013, and was first held April 11 to 13, 2014, at the Sheraton Detroit Novi. It later moved to the Westin Detroit-Southfield and the Ann Arbor Marriott Ypsilanti at Eagle Crest, and in 2026 to the Detroit Marriott at the Renaissance Center, the first held in the city of Detroit. Each year has a theme and a different animal-related charity, and attendance has grown from 967 to over 2,500.
