On New Years Day 2026, Provincetown will celebrate the tenth 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. This charity tradition is part of the Provincetown First Light celebrations for New Years Weekend 2026.
