Anthro New England
About
Anthro New England is an annual convention in Boston for the anthropomorphic, or furry, fandom, typically held in January at hotels in the Seaport District. Panels, concerts, performances, a large vendor hall and other events celebrate art, music and literature built around anthropomorphic characters. It is open to fandom members, cosplayers looking to try something new and curious onlookers alike, and organizers aim to keep the weekend fun and safe for everyone who attends.
Beyond the entertainment, the convention’s mission is to raise money and awareness for local charities that serve people and animals in need across New England. It is supported by staff and volunteers, and each edition carries a theme; the 2027 edition, “Sleepytime,” follows the Old West-themed 2026 event. The 2027 convention uses the Westin Boston Seaport District and the Omni Boston at the Seaport, and the event typically also draws on surrounding overflow hotels.
