Lava City Roller Derby hosts Birds of a Feather in Bend bout
Lava City Roller Derby sold a Saturday afternoon bout at The Pavilion for $15 in advance, with kids 5 and under free and reduced tickets for seniors, veterans and students.
Lava City Roller Derby turned its July 18 bout at The Pavilion into a family-priced afternoon outing, with advance tickets set at $15, door tickets at $18 and free admission for children 5 and under with a paid adult. Doors opened at 2:30 p.m. for the 3:30 p.m. start, giving Bend fans a two-hour flat-track matchup against Birds of a Feather at 1001 SW Bradbury Way.
The league also built in lower-priced entry points for adults who might otherwise sit out a Friday-night sports tab. Seniors, veterans and students were offered $12 tickets, and the organization warned that seating was limited, telling fans to bring their own chair. That made the setup feel less like a big-arena date and more like the kind of close, trackside bout where first-time attendees can see how quickly roller derby moves from whistle to whistle.
Lava City called the July 18 game its "second home bout of the season" and said on social media that it was part of an updated season schedule. Its Bluesky profile describes the league as "Flat track roller derby in Central Oregon" and says "All genders welcome," a direct invitation that matches the pricing structure and the early start. Wikipedia’s entry for the league says Lava City Roller Derby was founded in 2006, giving the Bend club nearly two decades of history as a local fixture.
The Pavilion, a Bend Park and Recreation District facility, gave the bout a public, community-sports backdrop instead of a private-arena feel. Bend Ticket’s organizer page listed Lava City Roller Derby at 655 NE Revere Ave., Bend, OR, with a contact number of (541) 419-4410, while the league’s Instagram feed also pointed ahead to an Aug. 15 home bout against The Brawlipop Guild at The Pavilion. Taken together, the schedule showed a league trying to turn one Saturday afternoon into an on-ramp for the rest of the season.
