Petersburg Polar Plunge

Jumping into freezing water in the middle of winter may seem crazy, but for over two decades, thousands of Hoosiers have braved the elements to support Special Olympics Indiana during the annual Polar Plunge. The Polar Plunge in Petersburg takes place on Saturday, February 28, 2026, at Pride’s Creek Park Lake. All funds raised during Polar Plunge events ensure an ever-growing number of children and adults with intellectual disabilities can participate in sports, health, education and leadership programs at no cost.
