BRIGANTINE POLAR BEAR PLUNGE 2022
About the Brigantine Polar Bear Plunge
Brigantine residents, merchants and visitors will celebrate New Year’s Day with the 20th annual Polar Bear Plunge. The event has grown from a local event into a major fundraising effort benefiting Fisher House, a top-rated charity that provides housing and transportation to wounded military members and their families.
Last year’s event had more than 1,000 swimmers, 6,000 spectators and raised more than $70,000 for Fisher House. The day’s events begin at 10 a.m. New Year’s Day with live music, refreshments, color guard and official merchandise for sale.
The Plunge, which is free and open to the public, has become a popular tradition with both locals and visitors to Brigantine and takes place at noon. Participants are encouraged to wear costumes with prizes awarded to the best costumes. Brigantine’s own Mike Riordan will serve as Master of Ceremonies.
The swim is followed by a post-plunge party at the Laguna Grill 1400 Ocean Ave. Food will be available for purchase. Adult & soft beverages will be available through Laguna Grill & Rum Bar. There will be live entertainment featuring The Amish Outlaws & The Billy Walton Band!
