Austin Furry Burlesque (AFB) was a proposed furry convention that was to be held in Austin, Texas in January 8 to 9, 2021 in the Austin-Pflugerville Courtyard Marriott.[2] AFB 2021 has been cancelled due to COVID-19 and all registrations refunded. Scheduling of a new event was to occur once past the pandemic. As of the end of 2023, no further updates have been provided.

Theme[edit]

Austin Furry Burlesque was themed after a stage burlesque show[3] and planned 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 was aimed at an adult audience.

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

Mascot[edit]

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

Associated events[edit]

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