The Moonlight Festival

The Moonlight Festival is an 18+ night market and dance party celebrating the kinkier sides of life! This is a community driven event bringing together a diverse group of artists, DJs, entertainers, demos, and vendors from the furry and kink community to create a magical night of self-expression, exploration, education, and positivity!

Our event is a consent first safe-space separated from the main convention area by privacy walls, giving you the opportunity to wear kink attire or gear that would not be allowed in other spaces. Gear and fursuits are welcomed and encouraged, but not required, and a clothing check will be available within the private space. Once your ID has been checked, you will be able to access all of the areas of interest without having to leave the privacy of the event!

When we started the Moonlight Festival, we knew the community would be excited but we did not expect the anticipation and excitement that followed. This year, we’re reaching for the moon and creating an even bigger event with more things to do and see! We’ve added more performances and demonstrations as well as expanding our artist and vendor area, allowing us to bring in more talent from both the furry and local Atlanta communities. We have changed our layout for our stage to allow more of you to dance the night away or socialize while watching a lineup of entertainment and DJs featuring a mix of brand new artists and returning favorites. For our 21+ guests, the cash bars will be back serving an assortment of beverages for you to enjoy, but be sure to bring your legal ID showing your date of birth.

It takes full community effort to be able to create safe-spaces and we ask for your help to keep the space safe for all by not taking any photos or videos and remembering that consent is essential to every encounter.
