Jase Husky at Oklacon

Oklacon (previously the Festival of the Feral) is an annual furry convention in Watonga, Oklahoma, USA. Oklacon is held every year on the weekend of or immediately preceding Halloween, in Roman Nose State Park located just outside of Watonga.

Oklacon is a predominantly outdoor convention that emphasizes hands-on community and small-group activities such as frisbee contests, fursuit bocce ball, monster croquet, Predator and Prey, and other outdoor games. It does have a Dealer's Den, Artists' Alley, and Art Show and Auction. Several prominent speakers have visited this convention, including 2, Jakebe, Sub-level 03 (which made its debut in the furry scene at the first Oklacon in 2003).

Geared to be a local convention, Oklacon is 70 miles from the nearest airport, and most attendees drive from Oklahoma, Texas, Kansas, Arkansas, Louisiana, and other surrounding states. It is advertised as the most affordable furry con in the world; lodging and some meals are included with the low registration fee, which makes the bulk of attendance costs the cost of gas.

Oklacon is organized by the Oklahoma Association for Anthropomorphic Arts, a non-profit governing body that benefits animal-related non-profit charities and serves to provide art education to the Oklahoma furry community. Since Oklacon's inception in 2003, the convention's designated charity has been Safari's Interactive Animal Sanctuary in Broken Arrow, Oklahoma, USA.
