The official numbers are in and I thought it be fun to see how they compare.
These are official numbers for their 2015 conventions
First Up Anthrocon
6,389 attendees
1,460 fursuiters in parade
$35,684 was raised for Critter Camp
Second Midwest FurFest
5,606 attendees
1,378 fursuiters in parade
$60,000 was raised for Save A Vet
The Differences
MFF is closing in on Anthrocon fast with only 82 fursuiters tying their record for number in their Fursuiter Parade. With a difference of only 783 in total attendance, MFF beat Anthrocons 2013 attendance record of 5, 577 proves that MFF has the drawing power to bring in more furries. In fact this is the closest they have ever been, with only 581 increase over last years attendance Anthrocon’s power to draw furries in seems to be fading when compared to MFF. Attendance at MFF 2015 jumped by 1,035 over last year. I think it is possible MFF could be the #1 Fur Con in America as early as next year.
