History[edit]
After the success of the annual camping event, Camping Paws, the desire for creating a new furry convention in Mexico City began to gain strength. The plans were announced during the weekly podcast Viernes Furry. Shortly afterwards, during FurCan 2019, a discreet easter egg in the conbook alluded to the name of this new convention[1]. At the end of July of the same year the official announcement was published alongside the guest of honor reveal.
2020[edit]
The first official announcements revealed that Brazilian fursuiter Crash Azarel and the creator of the Dutch Angel Dragon species, Telephone, would be the guests of honor for this edition[2]. Some promotional announcements showed that the mascot of the convention is a Quetzal bird named Kiixy. On December 5, the dates and the place were announced. The convention was to take place from June 5 to 7, 2020 at the Holiday Inn Coyoacan.[3] The chosen theme for this inaugural edition was "La magia de los pueblos mexicanos" (The Magic of Mexican Towns), to represent the diversity and culture of Mexico.
Due to the COVID-19 pandemic, the first edition of City Fur was initially postponed to March 12-14, 2021. [4] However, as the global situation did not improve, the hotel closed down in July 2020. The staff decided to postpone the convention indefinitely.[5]. As of 2024, no further updates have been provided.
