This weekend, Boston’s Seaport transforms into a vibrant hub of creativity as thousands gather for the annual Anthro New England convention. Spanning from Thursday to Sunday, the event offers a diverse array of activities for enthusiasts of anthropomorphic art and culture.
Attendees, often dressed as their unique ‘fursonas’—characters like wolves, foxes, dogs, and cats—can participate in various events. From Pokémon card trading sessions to workshops on sewing a furry cat tail, there’s something for everyone. The convention also features a fursuit parade, a dance competition, and an animal-themed music concert, ensuring a lively atmosphere.
Anthro New England not only celebrates creativity but also emphasizes giving back. This year, charitable efforts focus on supporting Wings of the Dawn, a wildlife rehabilitation center and bird sanctuary, along with Queer Scouts, a nonprofit dedicated to peer-led educational skillshares.
Offering a unique platform for self-expression and community connection, Anthro New England promises an engaging experience. Whether you’re a seasoned furry or new to the scene, the Seaport’s Westin Hotel is the place to be for anyone interested in the vibrant world of anthropomorphism.
