2020[edit]
NeonFur 2020 was scheduled for October 30 - November 1, 2020. It was cancelled due to COVID-19, and restrictions caused by it.[8]
Mascot[edit]
NeonFur's mascot is a "crazy party dingo" named Esky.[9] With a species chosen because "everybody loves canines", Esky was designed by Havik, and received his name after several "Australian words" were thrown about.[9]
