Oklacon (previously the Festival of the Feral) is an annual furry convention in Watonga, Oklahoma, USA. It is the first US outdoor-format furry convention and is Oklahoma's oldest furry convention. 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 individuals prominent in the fandom have visited this convention, including 2, Blotch, 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 Fuzzy Productions, a shell entity that produces the convention for the benefit of the convention's designated charity, Safari's Interactive Animal Sanctuary in Broken Arrow, Oklahoma, USA.
