Knockdown Party Tour Bus Description

As a rule of thumb, the Rose City Rollers and the Rat City Rollergirls know how to party. So, as co-hosts for Nationals, we were inspired to pull out all the stops: at bars, on the Knockdown Party Tour bus. That's right! We are proud to feature an amazing post-bout Party Tour after each night of the three-day tournament.

The pass allows you a ride on the tour bus so you can get your drink on responsibly! The bus will tour the town and stop at friendly local bars in the vicinity of the tournament; see downtown Portland on Friday, and the southeast side on Saturday. Cover charges to enter the bars are included in the price of the tour Friday, Saturday and for designated venues listed for the walking tour on Sunday. Listen to an array of local musical acts, meet the skaters, mascots, refs and others! Check this page for the latest schedule of post-bout party tour events.
