The 2025 Tahoe Polar Plunge is coming up on Saturday, May 3, and Special Olympics Nevada will host this year's event.
The event will be held at Round Hill Pines Beach Resort with onsite registration opening at 9:30 a.m., according to a release.
The plunge itself will happen at noon and will be followed by lunch, prizes, and a raffle drawing. A raffle drawing will also happen before the event at 11 a.m.
At noon, when the plunge begins, participants will be invited to hop, skip, run, jump, or dive into Lake Tahoe to support Special Olympics Nevada's sports, education, leadership, and athlete health programs.
All plungers that raise $125 or more will get a Lake Tahoe Plunge t-shirt and a lunch ticket.
This year's theme is "Mythical Magic," encouraging participants to wear their best costumes inspired by dragons, fairies, mermaids and other mystical creatures.
