The Lewes Polar Bear Plunge
Weekend FestivalJan. 31-Feb. 2
is Special Olympics Delaware's largest fundraiser.
Individuals and teams, alongside Special Olympics athletes, take the plunge into the icy Atlantic Ocean during the height of winter!Other crowd favorites include the Saturday 5K Run to the Plunge, Pooch Plunge, Chili Contest, Ice Sculpting Demonstration, Polar Ice Cream Throwdown, and other fun family activities.
New Pooch Plunge changes. Following the success of the inaugural Pooch Plunge last year, the event is once again set to take place on Sat. at 11 am during the Plunge Weekend Festival.Unlike last year when pooches were led up to a baby pool with hopes they'd plunge right in, this year dogs are going to be led on a leash by their owners along the shoreline.This allows dogs that want to plunge all the way in to do so, and those that prefer just to frolic in the cold water the ability to do the same.After all, it's not about how far in you go, but rather how good you look doing it.
