Start 2027 off with a SPLASH as we plunge into Onset Bay to celebrate the new year! Join us at Onset Bay Center on January 1, 11:00am-1:00pm, to take part in the plunge!
Registration is not yet open for 2027. Please check back later.
What to Bring
Dress to Impress! Spirited outfits are encouraged!
- A full set of warm, dry clothes to change into after the plunge
- A bag for wet clothes
- A towel
- Water-friendly Shoes for going into the water (optional but recommended)
- Waterproof camera to capture the moment (optional)
What to Expect
Upon arrival, stop by the check-in table. Proceed to check out merch tables, local vendors, and activities as you prepare for the plunge. The lower level of the Center will be open with changing areas. Find a place along the beach to store your belongings (public storage only, there is not a private storage area for personal belongings). All participants are required to complete a waiver prior to the plunge. Spectators are welcome to join us on the beach or the pier for viewing!
Onset Bay Center staff and volunteers will be present to lead the plunge. The Plunge is a choose-your-challenge adventure, so please go at your own pace, and participate however you feel comfortable! The temperature may take your breath away when you first enter the water, so feel free to take your time! There is no pressure to fully submerge in the water or stay in for longer than you'd like.
This event is made possible in part by funding from the Wareham Cultural Council and Mass Cultural Council!
