NSFurs OMGWTFBBQ

The OMGWTFBBQ! is a BBQ meetup originally hosted by the Nova Scotian Anthropomorphics group, which has become the largest furry gathering in Atlantic Canada. With the rapidly growing furry community in Atlantic Canada, the event is now organized by the Atlantic Furries, who are made up of furries from Nova Scotia, New Brunswick, Prince Edward Island and Newfoundland & Labrador.

The BBQ takes place in Halifax, Nova Scotia at York Redoubt park, which overlooks the mouth of the Halifax Harbour. It is a potluck event filled with fursuiting, art jams, dancing, and more.

History
Held yearly every August, since its conception in 2004 the event has welcomed furries from neighboring provinces to join in on the one day event. 2017 marked the first time the OMGWTFBBQ officially became a weekend long event, with an indoor venue one day and an outdoor BBQ event the next day. With the new indoor venue, this year also marked the event's first official Fursuit Dance Competition and live furry DJ.
