RivFur is a large-scale furmeet held annually in early July in Brisbane, Queensland, Australia. The name "RivFur" is derived from the Brisbane River that sprawls through the city. In 2011 RivFur held its historical FurBall in the form of a evening river cruise. This new setting for one of the longest running RivFur events is widely regarded as a contributing factor to the RivFur namesake.
