Roller vampires and derby zombies coverge at Skate Station on Sunday, October 24, when the Gainesville Roller Rebels’ Swamp City Sirens take on the Molly Roger Roller Girls!

It’s best to bring your own chair, but limited table seating will also be available; track-side (aka rink floor) seating available for 18-and-up. Concessions — including beer for 21-and-up with ID — will be available inside Skate Station.*** (P.S. Bring cash for cool GRR merchandise like tees, tanks, totes and more!)

As part of GRR’s pledge to give back to the community, in conjunction with this bout GRR is hosting the LifeSouth Bloodmobile, which will open at 6 p.m. to make sure no donor has to miss a minute of the action. BONUS: The first 10 on-site blood donors get into the bout free!

***Please note: This bout is not a BYOB event.
