Anthrocon 2024 returned over the weekend of July 4th to the David L. Lawrence Convention Center in downtown Pittsburgh. This annual event has become one of the largest furry conventions in the world. It is a staple for many in the furry community, providing a space for fans to come together and celebrate their shared interests.
The convention featured a packed schedule of activities and events. There were panels and workshops covering a wide range of topics from art techniques to community issues. Attendees enjoyed a fantastic art show where the best in anthropomorphic artwork was offered for sale. There was also a lively fursuit parade where thousands turned out to watch a showcase of amazing costumes.
Rate the Con
Our new thing for 2024 is to ask our readers to take a poll on some basic components of the con. We want to know how you rate the parking, the vendors and the food. The poll closes after 30 days and we will use this as a baseline for next years convention. We plan to keep a rating system set up for many of the conventions.
We realize that these don’t apply to all conventions, so if they don’t apply to your con, give them a 5 star.
**Later additions to the rating systems will include things such as guests and ticket prices**
This year was record-breaking attendance for Anthrocon, which has been held annually since 1997 and is now considered one of the largest furry conventions in the world.
