Fursuits, glowing monster gear, spooky beats, and rolling wheels! Saturday night of Fur Fest 2027 brings our highest-energy music event of the entire weekend:

Saturday Night DJ Battle: "The Monster Mash-up"!

We are taking over the historic Roller Skating Rink for a back-to-back spooky dance party. Expect fog machines, ambient orange-and-purple lighting, cobwebs, and heavy monster bass! Whether you are rolling on skates, dancing in full suit, partial suit, or cheering from the sidelines, this is the ultimate Saturday night celebration on the Midway.

🚒 FIRST RESPONDERS & HEALTHCARE APPRECIATION DAY

Saturday is officially our festival’s day to honor and celebrate all of our local heroes—including First Responders, Healthcare Workers, and medical furs!

Admission: Included with your Saturday FurFest Badge, VIP Pass, Weekend Pass, or standard Saturday Park Admission!
Skating: Bring your own skates or rent on site!

🎧 THE SHOWDOWN FORMAT

To ensure high-quality sound and give every artist their time in the spotlight, we are using our signature clean, rotating showcase format:

10-Minute Lightning Sets: Each DJ gets a dedicated 10-minute window to drop a seamless set before the next DJ takes over the system. Expect spooky synthwave, darkwave, classic rock horror tracks, bass-heavy monster tracks, and Halloween remixes (Heads Will Roll, Dragula, Thriller, Monster Mash)!
The Halftime Show (9:00 PM SHARP): The turntables pause for our crowd-favorite 80s Lip Sync / Spooky Showcase! Grab the prop mic, hit the rink floor, and bring your best rock-star attitude to "Jump" or "What Have You Done For Me Lately."
Car Show Winner Crowned: During the Monster Mash, we will officially crown the Saturday Car Show Contest Winner!
The Final Stretch: Following halftime, the DJs rotate back in with fresh retro and spooky tracks until voting closes at 9:45 PM.
