Polar Plunge
Feb. 1-2, 2013The Polar Plunge® Winter Festival is Special Olympics Virginia’s largest fundraiser, attracting more than 10,000 people to an otherwise deserted beachfront in February. Crowd favorites at this event include the Boogie Down the Boardwalk Costume Parade and contest, musical entertainment, gigantic sand sculpture, as well as vendor displays and giveaways.
