On New Years Day 2025, Provincetown will celebrate the eight annual Polar Bear Plunge!
On that day, hundreds of intrepid plungers will meet in the Johnson Street parking lot, collect tee-shirts, gather inspiration from tracks spun by our New Year’s Day DJ, and learn about the important work of the Center for Coastal Studies! At noon, weather permitting, registrants will run, splash and plunge into the waters of Provincetown Harbor.
The cost for single-registrants is $60.

Finally, if you are unable to participate in this year’s Polar Plunge in person, we will gratefully accept single-registrations for those who wish to participate virtually!
Registrants may participate virtually by submitting a video of photo of my plunge utilizing the hashtag #PolarPlunge25. via social media videos of their own curated plunges using the hashtag #PtownPolarPlunge24. The best off-site plunge will be posted to @ptownbusinessguild and @centerforcoastalstudies
All plungers MUST wear water-shoes to prevent injury by sharp rocks and/or oyster shells in that part of the harbor. We will have limited water shoes for purchase on-site.
All registration and pledged proceeds go directly towards supporting The Center for Coastal Studies. In addition to DJ music and guest emcee, registrants will be provided with Coffee and tea and the best group of people willing to run into the bay on New Years Day!
