PITTSBURGH (Newsradio 1020 KDKA) - You won’t see people in animal costumes in Downtown Pittsburgh this summer.
Anthrocon 2020, Pittsburgh annual furry convention, has been canceled due to the global pandemic.
The event was scheduled for the first week in July.
In a Facebook post, Anthrocon said, “We had hoped to avoid it, but it's clear that we will not be able to provide a convention experience that is both safe and enjoyable for our attendees.”
It has been held at the David L. Lawrence Convention Center since 2006.
