Yes, a wristband and ID check for any furs with accessibility needs is available at the Marriott elevators, 1st floor.
What is Night Market?
Unleash your inner pup, parade your pretty pony, or just let us admire your leather and latex attire - all while doing a little after-dark shopping! Furry and fetish (and somewhere in the middle) vendors will be on-hand to sell their adults-only wares above-table. There will also be live DJ sets, dancing, entertainment, and a cash bar!
Who Can Attend?
Night Market is open to Further Confusion attendees 18+, but you must be 21+ to consume alcoholic beverages. Bartenders will check ID before they pour and no alcohol may be consumed on premises by those under 21 years of age.
What Night Market Is Not (The rules)
This is not a play party (Keep it covered)
- Gear and suits are encouraged! Feel free to wear your favorite gear, fursuit, or outfit
- Free Coat Check is available. You can arrive in your street clothes and change inside.
- NO Real Genitals Showing. We must comply with California law and local regulations.
- This means: Jocks, thongs, and gear that does not completely cover private areas (including your secret starfish) are NOT allowed.
- Pasties are available at Coat Check for just $1 if you need them!
- Costume Props are OK. Plush sheathes, packers, and related toys are permitted as costume props. Please be mindful of how you handle them.
KINK IS NOT CONSENT! (Respect Boundaries)
- ALWAYS Ask Before Touching. Even in a social setting, consent is mandatory.
- NO Real or Simulated Sex Acts. This is a social event, not a private room. If you want to get hot and heavy, you must take it back to your hotel room.
- Leashes: If you are wearing a leash, you must hold your own leash for safety reasons as outlined in our Attendee Code of Conduct.
Contact us with any Questions! Please email us at nightmarket@furtherconfusion.org or ask one of our staff members at the door if you have any questions about your night market outfit, gear, props, or any policies. We are happy to clarify any rules for you!
Photos, Videos, and Live Streaming
No photography, videography, or livestreaming is allowed at Night Market. Anyone seeking to enter the event with a professional camera will be turned away.
Those who wish to memorialize the occasion may step into the photobooth (photographer with themed background), which will be set up outside the ballrom for your opt-in shots, providing instant photos for you to take home!
Please note that an official Further Confusion photographer may take limited photographs of the DJs and stage performers only, but no other individuals will be photographed.
