About Oklacon

Oklacon, previously the Festival of the Feral, was an annual furry convention in Oklahoma, held from 2003 to 2014 on the weekend of or just before Halloween and running from Thursday through Monday. It was the first outdoor-format furry convention in the United States and was described as the largest outdoor furry convention in the world, emphasizing hands-on community and small-group craft, gaming and wilderness activities. The event took place at Roman Nose State Park near Watonga, with about 350 attendees a year, and a move to Sequoyah State Park near Wagoner was planned for 2015. It was organized by Fuzzy Productions for the benefit of its designated charity, Safari's Interactive Animal Sanctuary in Broken Arrow, which received over $50,000 from 2004 through 2013, and in 2014 the beneficiary became the WildCare Foundation of Oklahoma. Registration prices were kept low, and most attendees drove in from Oklahoma and neighboring states.
