Bring your family to Midway Village on Saturday, May 11. Gates open at Noon. Admission includes entrance to the Victorian Village and the Museum Center, where you can also see the Rockford Peaches exhibit. Families are encouraged to dress up like the 1940’s too! Light concessions will be available, as well as Peaches merchandise. We have bleachers, but lawn chairs are welcome!

For twelve seasons, the Rockford Peaches thrilled their fans with some of the best baseball the All-American Girls Professional Baseball League (AAGPBL) had to offer. In the process, they won four league titles - more than any other team, including three in a row from 1948-50!

Your Rockford Peaches Playdate ticket is also your pass to Midway's Victorian Village and the Museum Center for the day, so you and your family can learn more about the real history and incredible story behind the Peaches - from the actual uniforms they wore and game programs to photos and other fascinating memorabilia.
