Event details

Nestled on the picturesque shores of Big Bear Lake in California, the Big Bear Polar Plunge at Veteran’s Park is an invigorating charity event that combines bravery, camaraderie, and a dash of winter fun. This annual spectacle, now celebrating over a decade of tradition, invites participants to take a bold plunge into the chilly waters of Big Bear Lake, all in the name of supporting Special Olympics Inland Empire.

Ideal for adventurous souls, community enthusiasts, and those passionate about giving back, this event offers a unique opportunity to make a splash while making a difference. Participants can choose to run, walk, or even dance their way into the frigid waters, with the promise of warm hospitality and hot tubs awaiting them afterward.

Set against the stunning backdrop of the San Bernardino Mountains, Veteran’s Park provides a scenic and festive setting for this charitable gathering. Over the years, the Big Bear Polar Plunge has raised hundreds of thousands of dollars, and each participant contributes to funding vital programs for Special Olympics athletes in the region. With prizes, incentives, and a lively atmosphere, this event is a perfect blend of fun, community spirit, and altruism. So, bundle up, take the plunge, and be part of a memorable day that warms hearts despite the cold waters.
