Furloween is an annual Halloween party held in Orlando, Florida. The party is run by Mach Stormrunner, and has been held every year since 1999. Attendance in recent years has ranged between 150 and 190 furs.

Furloween has the distinction of being Florida's first major furry meet, predating Furry Spring Break by two years, and Megaplex by three.

The mascot of Furloween is "Ozzy Bat".

[edit] Events

Although Furloween usually has a limited number of vendors, the festivities are centered around a fully catered banquet dinner and dance. A cash bar is also available to guests over 21. Unlike regular conventions, it only takes place for one night, typically on the Saturday before Halloween.

There are also a number of events scheduled outside of the actual party, but most of these are outside of Mach's control. The party attracts furry fans from all over Florida, and from outside the state as well.
