Powered by Underdog Sports Leagues to celebrate our 20th anniversary in Portland!
There’s no better way to celebrate this major milestone than to throw a Halloween Bash dance party with a live DJ and costume contest! It’s been 10 years since our last Bash at Wonder Ballroom where we packed the dance floor to capacity and saw some of the best and most creative costumes to date.
Costume Contest will be open to anyone (free of charge) – no need to pre-register for it. We’ll take your name and picture when you arrive (only those that want to enter the costume contest) and crown a champ by the end of the night.
This dance party is open to everyone – regardless of whether you’ve played in Underdog’s 21+ recreational sports leagues or not. Come solo or with friends and we’ll bring the fun like always!
