At 11:30am, all participants will line up near the water for the official countdown to dash into the Gulf of Mexico.

Directly after, plungers will flock upstairs to The Crab Trap restaurant to get dry and toasty at the post-plunge party. Warm-up with The Crab Trap's famous gumbo, pour on the holiday fun with plunge-worthy drink specials, and mix and mingle to live music.

The festivities also include a large raffle with thousands of dollars in prizes! All proceeds are raised to help local children in our community.
