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.

Tom Hurley."It's amazing what happens when you bring music and good people together, everyone has a great time."

Proceeds from the event will be used to help families and students in need along with fixing facilities. Some of the donations will also be given to
