2019[edit]

NeonFur: Kaiju Madness is to be held November 8-10, 2019 at the Greenmount Hotel in Coolangatta.[7]

Mascot[edit]

NeonFur's mascot is a "crazy party dingo" named Esky.[8] With a species chosen because "everybody loves canines", Esky was designed by Havik, and received his name after several "Australian words" were thrown about.[8]
