Events[edit]
Although Furloween usually had a limited number of vendors, the festivities were centered around a fully catered banquet dinner and dance. A cash bar was also available to guests over 21. Unlike regular conventions, it only took place for one night, typically on the Saturday before Halloween.
There was a picnic [2] held at Blanchard Park the following day in at least 2019 for the purpose of unwinding from the meet.
There were also a number of events scheduled outside of the actual party, but most of these were outside of Mach's control. The party attracted furry fans from all over Florida, and from outside the state as well.
