Plunge Festival

Although the official plunge into the ocean doesn’t take place until Sunday, March 14, at 1:00 p.m., Bears descend on the beach towns as early as Friday.

For that reason, the Plunge Festival was created – providing families of all sizes and ages many fun-filled activities indoors and out.

Highlights

The 2010 Plunge Festival will feature several attractions designed with the “Plunging family" in mind. The highlight of the Plunge Festival is the actual Plunge itself, but we realize many Bears make it a complete weekend, and so we've scheduled activities and attractions for Bears and their families beginning as early as Friday evening.
