On Saturday, July 18th, Marist High School will present the 5th Annual Southside Summer Festival, featuring three live bands, food and beverages, all showcased at the Marist Stadium. Southside Summer Festival has attracted more than 10,000 music-lovers from the Chicagoland area and surrounding suburbs in the previous years.

Southside Summer Festival is supported by a robust PR, Marketing and social media campaign. Last year, media coverage was secured in the Chicago Tribune, The Patch, The Beverly Review, WGN-TV, WLS-TV, WFLD-TV, and WLS-AM.

Open to ages 21 and above, this community event is unlike any other in the area, and will open the Marist campus to the entire community, attracting new audiences to the school. Marist High School is a 501c3 nonprofit organization; home to 1,600 students; with a roster of more than 20,000 alumni. Money raised will help to provide scholarships and financial aid to students.

Thank you for any consideration of sponsoring Southside Summer Festival. We are looking forward to speaking with you and answering any questions you may have.

Be a part of the 5th Annual Southside Summer Festival, presented by Marist. We are seeking volunteers to help with this Southside summer tradition, in a variety of positions.

Tickets are selling fast, and we are anticipating this year’s event to be the largest and most successful ever. For our attendees to have the best experience possible, we could use a few more volunteers this year. Volunteer shifts are still available, with most shifts being about two hours.

Volunteers will receive an event t-shirt, and free admission to one of the best nights on the Southside.
