+ | '''FurcoNZ''' is an annual gathering of the [[Wikipedia:New Zealand|New Zealand]] furry community, with a distinctively [[Wikipedia:Kiwi_(people)|Kiwi]] outdoors theme. Since 2007, it has typically been held at the end of the year, around end of November or start of December. From 2009 to 2012, the event organizers scheduled FurcoNZ on "back-to-back" weekends with [[MiDFur]] (in Melbourne, Australia) to entice overseas attendees to make both events in the same intercontinental trip. From 2014 to 2020, FurcoNZ was held over or near [[Wikipedia:Waitangi Day|Waitangi Weekend]]. Beginning as a small indoor [[furmeet]] often hosted at a private residence until 2007, it has grown into a weekend [[furry camping]] event at a camp or lodge site with scheduled activities and official programming. | ||

FurcoNZ is an annual gathering of the New Zealand furry community, with a distinctively Kiwi outdoors theme. Since 2007, it has typically been held at the end of the year, around end of November or start of December. From 2009 to 2012, the event organizers scheduled FurcoNZ on "back-to-back" weekends with MiDFur (in Melbourne, Australia) to entice overseas attendees to make both events in the same intercontinental trip. From 2014 to 2020, FurcoNZ was held over or near Waitangi Weekend. Beginning as a small indoor furmeet often hosted at a private residence until 2007, it has grown into a weekend furry camping event at a camp or lodge site with scheduled activities and official programming.
