Register now to be counted among the thousands that will try to break the record of 2,461 partipants 3,134 participants on January 1st, 2026, on the Birch Bay shoreline.
A group in Norway just set a NEW record…which means we need a few extra plungers!

The fun starts at 8am with games, activities, and music.  At 12pm, take to the waters of Birch Bay, where everyone needs to be waist-deep for 60 seconds for the record attempt to count.  Afterwards, dry off and celebrate with music and refreshments during a party throughout Birch Bay!
