YIKES! Film Festival is a three day celebration of everything horror, sci-fi, fantasy, thriller, mystery, experimental, b-movie, and more! Above all our festival is focused on FUN for the attendees. Think less of a red carpet and more watching unique indie movies with your friends.

Each evening will include screenings of selected films. Breaks will be provided throughout the program to allow for mingling, drinks, bathroom breaks, giveaways and announcements. Full spooky vendor hall and live music also at the event!

After the film portion of the program, we will cap off each night with live music from some incredible local artists and bands! We have curated an experience for film fans to connect and celebrate the wonderful medium that is film, all while having a good time. Food and drinks also available!
