Sock Monkey Madness is Only 3 Months Away!

Sock Monkey is proud of his heritage

The 5th Annual Sock Monkey Madness Festival returns to Midway Village Museum on March 7-8, 2009 in Rockford, Illinois. Sock Monkey Madness is the only Sock Monkey Festival of its kind. It's held in Rockford, the home of the Sock Monkey.

The weekend long event has sock monkey making workshops, sock monkey vendors and the 2009 Miss Sockford Beauty Pageant. This year celebrates the 3rd Annual Sock Monkey International Film Festival.

The museum houses a one of its kind Sock Monkey exhibit entitled, The Missing Link: Socks, Monkeys and Rockford's Industrial Past. The museum's collection of Sock Monkey history dates back to 1870's with an up-to-date exhibit of all things Sock Monkey.

If you can't make it to Rockford next year, you can always shop at the museum's online Sock Monkey store.

Monkey Business is almost here!
