Furry Weekend Atlanta 2025 is set to make a splash as they take over the largest aquarium in the US! Join us at what will be an un-fur-gettable experience with fandom DJs, musicians, and FURSUITS! A fursuit/headless lounge will be located inside of the aquarium for the duration of the event.
One of the highlights of Furry Weekend Atlanta is seeing attendees don their most creative and captivating mascot costumes. Whether you’re a seasoned cosplayer or just dipping your toes into the world of fur-suits, we encourage everyone to express themselves through their attire. So, dust off those paws, fluff up those tails, and get ready to strut your stuff!
Join us as we celebrate community, creativity, and the spirit of acceptance.
