Lewisburg Neighborhoods

Welcoming, Walkable, Wonderful

THANK YOU!

We again had an incredible Polar Bear Plunge, Pre-Plunge Party, and Parade on February 8! This year's "Handmade Parade," organized by the Lewisburg Arts Council with a river theme, has taken this event to new heights - literally - with a giant Great Blue Heron puppet! The weather cooperated and 200+ plungers were able to take a dip in the Susquehanna. Check out our blog and social media accounts all this month for photos and videos from the event!

We couldn't put on this event without the support of our partners, sponsors, and dedicated volunteers:

Susquehanna River Valley Visitors Bureau
Bucknell Community Engagement Fund & Bucknell Facilities
Pennsylvania American Water
UPMC
Seven Mountains Media (Hanna Radio and Bigfoot Country)
William Cameron Engine Company
Borough of Lewisburg
Brasserie Louis
Green Team
Dunkin' Donuts Lewisburg
Bucknell Chapter of Lambda Chi Alpha
Jessie Lee

Thanks again and we'll see you in 2026!
