Elliott's Live Events

Elliott's Live Events was the umbrella name for a group of events hosted by King Elliott Ingonyama the First. While not specifically Furry Events, they draw many members of the Furry Community. With guests from the Anime, Furry and Science Fiction Communities, these events had an eclectic crowd. They featured an artists' lounge, a dance floor, a dinner, a headless lounge, outdoor activities, a series of movies, and a video game arcade. While open to all, with no age restriction, and welcoming both furry fans and their friends, pre-registration was required.

Happenings
His Majesty hosted three types of events: Royal Festivals, Castle Cotillions, and Local Events.

The King's Royal Festivals
These events were His Majesty's largest functions. Held once a year (in Spring), they are hosted at a hotel in Central Florida, these are three days long and include special events (such as a private parties at Orlando's Wet 'n Wild water park) and concerts.
