The Polar Plunge Pre-Party returns to Big Bear as a community-driven kickoff to the annual Polar Plunge, bringing participants together the night before for live music, connection, and purpose.

Hosted at the High Altitude Training Center, this event is designed to welcome out-of-town plungers, encourage overnight stays, and create an early sense of community leading into the main event.

Guests will enjoy live performances in a vibrant, social atmosphere while supporting a meaningful cause. The evening also provides added value for HATC members and the local community, offering a unique opportunity to gather, celebrate, and give back.

Tickets are $15 for the general public and $5 for HATC members and their guests. HATC staff, Special Olympics Southern California staff, volunteers, and registered plungers receive complimentary entry.

All proceeds benefit Special Olympics Southern California, with additional support through sponsorships and in-kind contributions.

Join us in kicking off Polar Plunge weekend with an unforgettable night of music, community, and impact.
