Charlie Pierce-El, a South Side resident and president of the Southside Community Coalition, says the festival has been a great success in past years, giving the community-ranging from the youngest members to seniors-an opportunity to mingle in a fun, family-friendly atmosphere. "I think we have really hit a home run with this concept," he says.
