About Western Pennsylvania Furry Weekend

The Western Pennsylvania Furry Weekend (WPAFW) is an annual furry gathering in the Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, area, held each year in early October since September 2001. It is run by Pennsylvania Anthropomorphics West, a 501(c)(3) non-profit incorporated in 2017. It is held at the North Park Lodge, part of the Allegheny County Parks near Wexford, after earlier years at the Comfort Inn Pittsburgh North and, in 2014, the Boyce Park Ski Lodge. Attendance has grown from 71 in 2006 to 645 in 2025, and the weekend raises money for charity each year.
