Dockyard Derby Dames season 4, bout 3 poster (ARTWORK BY JAMES STOWE.)

Tacoma’s original roller derby league, the Dockyard Derby Dames, move to historic Foss Waterway Seaport for their third bout of season four.

The roller derby bout takes place on Saturday, May 22. Doors open at 5 pm with the bout starting at 6 pm. Tickets can be purchased at the door for $15, or pre-purchased for only $12 at brownpapertickets.com/event/111926. Children ages, seven and under are free. This is a family-friendly event. A portion of the proceeds benefits Pierce County AIDS Foundation.

The league is excited to bring derby back to the heart of Tacoma. “Foss Waterway is a perfect location that ties in well with Dockyard’s nautical theme,” said Sarah Miani, Co-Chair of the league’s Bout Production Committee. “It’s right on the water in a dockyard. How perfect is that?”

The Dockyard Derby Dames is comprised of four teams: Femme Fianna, Hellbound Homewreckers, Marauding Mollys and Trampires. The championship-bound Trampires play the Hellbound Homewreckers, while the Femme Fianna and Marauding Mollys battle it out for a spot at the championship bout in June.

Because of the limited parking at Foss, fans are encouraged to park at the Tacoma Dome Park and Ride next to Freighthouse Square. A shuttle will be provided to transport attendees to and from the venue.

Three Chicks Catering, Inc. will be serving plates of barbecue grilled on-site with their new BBQ Rig. There is also a beer garden serving $3 wine and beer for attendees ages 21 and over.
