Welcome to
Furry Weekend Atlanta 2009: Safari!
March 19-22, 2009
Welcome to Furry Weekend Atlanta, a yearly "furry" convention for fans of anthropomorphics, held at the Hilton Atlanta in Atlanta, Georgia! Now in its sixth year, Furry Weekend Atlanta is proud and thrilled with all that we as a con have accomplished in such a short period of time. We are once again happy to welcome back all our friends and fans to the convention as well as our new attendees, and have a lot in store for 2009. We have two wonderful guests of honor, many well known dealers and artists, a growing schedule of premium anthropomorphic events, and lots of events for fursuiters!
Furry Weekend Atlanta has recently completed the lengthy process of moving the convention to a larger space. This move will triple the space available to the convention; all rooms are larger and many (including the artists' alley) are significantly larger. We realize that you may have some questions about our move, which if why we have set up a special page for questions about Furry Weekend Atlanta's move to the Hilton and to March.
Furry Weekend Atlanta is dedicated to providing the premiere gathering for fans of anthropomorphics. This con is all about you: the anthropomorphics fan! If you are new to "furry," new to conventions, or are wondering what this whole thing is about, we suggest you check out our About page which describes our interests and activities. We look forward to welcoming you this year!

Not only did we have a Fan Table at Dragon*Con this year, letting everyone know about us, the new hotel, and showing off some of our local fursuiters, but we also had an awesome color advertisement on the front inside cover of their Conbook!
The Art was done by Blotch - and it was really great.
Thanks to those that stopped by and said hi!
