'''Furdance Budapest 1 (2018)'''

On September 29, 2018, the first Furdance event in Hungary was held.
The location was the Trafik club. The event was immediately sold out for the first time.


'''Furdance Budapest 2 (2019)'''

On January 26, 2019, Furdance Budapest 2 was a one-night event held in collaboration with [[Fursang]] at a unique venue that was the most popular location for Furdance Budapest events until 2022.

Although Furdance Budapest traditionally included a Suitwalk, the event's Suitwalk was organized and held separately by Fursang and was not part of Furdance Budapest 2.


'''Furdance Budapest 3 (2019)'''

During the planning of the 3rd Furdance Budapest event, the participants expressed the need for more than one day of programs.
The organizers followed the request for a more extensive program and held a warm-up meeting on September 27, 2019, the day before the convention.

On September 28, 2019, the traditional Suitwalk and Furdance event was held.


'''Furdance Budapest 4 (2020)'''

On Jan 31 - Feb 1, 2020, Furdance Budapest 4 was held as part of [[Fursang]]'s program series. The event included a Furdance program over two evenings at Fursang's premises.


'''Furdance Budapest 5 (2021)'''

Furdance Budapest 5 was originally scheduled to take place in September 2020, but was canceled due to the COVID -19 outbreak. The event was later postponed to 2021, which was a significant turning point for the event.

On September 24 - 26, 2021, Furdance Budapest 5 programs were offered at the venue for the first time, after the Suit Walk and before the Furdance. These programs included a screening of the award-winning film "Mom's Cat" by Anabella Schnabel, followed by a roundtable discussion with the director.


'''Furdance Budapest 6 (2022)'''

On September 16 - 18, 2022, a real multi-day convention was held with stage events such as Fursuit Gameshow, Fursuit Activity and a live concert by Beniwolf.

=== Hello Budapest! ===

It served as an outdoor warm-up event for attendees Prior to the main event. The event was held for the first time in 2020 and for the last time in 2021.

The future of Hello Budapest! is uncertain as the main event, Furdance Budapest, continues to grow. The decision whether the event will be held in the future depends on various factors.

=== Virtual parties ===

Due to the COVID-19 pandemic, the Annual Furdance Budapest event was cancelled in 2020. In response, organisers hosted Virtual parties in Second Life as an alternative for attendees. Due to the success, it is possible that the DJ team will continue to hold virtual parties in Second Life and on other platforms in the future.
