Austin Furry Burlesque

Austin Furry Burlesque (AFB) is a furry convention that was to be held in Austin, Texas in January 8 to 9, 2021 in the Austin-Pflugerville Courtyard Marriott. AFB 2021 has been cancelled due to COVID-19 and all registrations refunded. Scheduling of a new event will occur once past the pandemic.

Theme
Austin Furry Burlesque is themed after a stage burlesque show and plans to have a drag show and fashion-themed events such as a fursuit catwalk in addition to furry convention mainstays like a Dealer's Den, Artist's Alley, panels and so on. This theme was chosen as a nod to Austin having a strong queer community and being a hub for weirdness in Texas, as well as an indication that it is aimed at an adult audience.

Austin Furry Burlesque will be an 18+ convention, a safe space for adults, where attendees can be playful and provocative without the logistics of accommodating an underage audience.

Mascot
Scarlett Reputation is AFB's mascot and all-purpose matron. She has been keeping Austin wierd since she broke onto the scene with her one-woman burlesque production of Carrie, The Musical.

Associated events
The organization behind AFB, Austinfurs, also runs a monthly park meetup in North Austin called Park Bark, and the Austin Furry Dance event.
