Rockford is the home of Cheap Trick, Sock Monkeys and Swedish Pancakes. Our Peaches were a ragtag team of WWII-era women whose passion and courage made us baseball fans. Our Rockford IceHogs, AHL affiliate of the Chicago Blackhawks, have made us hockey fanatics.

A 66-million-year-young T.rex with a dangerous grin inspires awe and gives us perspective. Our reputation is so green we've earned the nicknames: "The Forest City" and "City of Gardens".
