Each ward in Rockford (IL) receives $10,000 in federal covid relief funds which he calls the Forward for Fun initiative. This year, the 14th Ward is going to turn their money into one big Italian party. Ferragosto, which is loosely translated to the August fair, will be six hours of live music on two different stages. It will take place from 4 p.m. to 10 p.m. Saturday, August 26 at Lino’s parking lot in Rockford.
They did something similar with last year’s Forward for Fun money. But instead of a four-day event benefiting four nonprofits, this year’s event will be one night to benefit six nonprofits. Admission is free with the funding money going to hire performers and Lino’s employees to work the event.
