Just when you thought the only thing that goes on in October is Halloween and Oktoberfest…wrong. The Royal Flush Festival is a new film, music, arts fest that has just been created from the combination of the E. Vil City Film Fest and Royal Flush Magazine. Everything is included now, from new films, local and emerging bands, group art shows and all sorts of fun stuff. It’s also a great way to meet and greet other artist in the area because it’s a whole lot less pretentious than more famous festivals.
