NEWCITY, Lincoln Park’s outdoor shopping, dining and entertainment district, will host Hello Weekend for their annual “Sounds of Summer'' outdoor music series benefitting the Jackson Chance Foundation. Scheduled for select Thursdays throughout the months of July and August, “Sounds of Summer” is free to attend and highlights & supports a local non-profit who will receive 100% of sales from beverages sponsored by Constellation Brands in addition to raffles and donations. 

Hello Weekend is a nonstop, hit after hit, party band. They not only bring high-energy sound with Christina's heart stopping vocals, but they bring a captivating stage presence and an overall transfixing performance, the likes of which, you won't soon forget! Hello Weekend strives to keep you dancing with a wide-ranging set list that covers everything from Gaga to Guns N' Roses, Bruno Mars to The Beach Boys and performs countless festivals, weddings, private and corporate functions each year. Additionally, the evening’s featured charity partner, Jackson Chance Foundation, enriches the lives of families with babies in the neonatal intensive care unit (NICU) by removing the financial burden of parking fees and allowing families to spend more time with their critically ill child.  Through the NICU Transportation Program, they partner with hospitals to provide complimentary parking for families and since 2013 have raised more than $5.9 million and provided over 600,000 days of parking to more than 12,000 families.

While there is limited on-site seating on the plaza, there is plenty of room for blankets and chairs, so NEWCITY welcomes community friends, family, and neighbors to come out and enjoy an evening of live music! While free to attend, registration is required for all “Sounds of Summer” events.
