CHICAGO -- The"Southside SummerFest" will happen on Saturday, July 23 from 4:00 p.m. to 10:00 p.m.
The first-ever event is for people over 21 years old and features four bands, The Back Country Boys, The Ron Burgundy's, Tributosaurus and Soul 2 The Bone, along with food and cocktails. It's being organized by Father Tom Hurley, former pastor of Old St. Patrick's Church, and a southside native. He was involved with the Old St. Pat's World's Largest Block Party for 24 years.
"Marist sits on a beautiful piece of property, and with my past summer festival experience, I felt like it was the right time to create a new summer tradition on the south side of Chicago," said Chicago Pastor Fr. Tom Hurley."It's amazing what happens when you bring music and good people together, everyone has a great time."
