The Rockford Plate
Midway Village Museum’s Gala
Thursday, July 13, 2017
5:30pm - 9:00pm
The 2 nd Annual Rockford Plate Gala will transport guests to Rockford during the roaring 20s! Guests will give the secret password to enter the Speak Easy and into the historic village neighborhood who have opened their doors for this special night. In each of the five homes, a different Rockford ethnic group will feature fabulous food, music, traditional clothing, educational displays, decorations, photo ops, and much more! Guests are then invited to enter the glitzy 1920s Club for the glamorous Main Street Celebration where all guests will gather for live Dixieland music, dancing, dessert, and more!
For this event we have some unique opportunities for volunteers. Help set the scene and bring the 1920s to life.
