The badass gals of Richmond Roller Derby are starting up their season this weekend with Attack of the 50ft. Skater at the Greater Richmond Convention Center (403 N. 3rd St). Roller Derby–a mix of skating, hockey, and racing, with a bit of pro wrestling theatre thrown in–is guaranteed as always to be entertaining and fun, and there is nothing more exciting than rooting for our gals here in Richmond.

This event is family friendly and a children’s area is available for fun activities. Tickets are $10 for adults, $6 for children 7-12, and children 6 and under will be admitted free.
