What To Expect At The 2026 Fenton Polar Plunge Event

The 2026 Fenton Polar Plunge is happening soon.

All proceeds from the annual fundraiser go to support Special Olympics athletes across Michigan. Whether you’re participating as a plunger or cheering from the sidelines, everyone is invited to this fun event.

Here are all the cool (or should I say cold) details.

When is the Fenton Polar Plunge?

The fun happens this Saturday, February 7th, 2026, at the Fenton Moose Lodge. While the lodge normally requires membership, everyone is welcome to attend this special event.

Plunger check-in will take place at the Fenton Township Hall (next to the Fenton Moose Lodge) at 11:00 AM, with plunging into Lake Fenton starting at 1:00 PM.

All participants will receive a free lunch. Drinks and lunch will be available for purchase on-site for spectators.

You can register as an individual plunger, as a team, or join a team here. Donations can be made here.

Where is the Fenton Moose Lodge located?

The Fenton Moose Lodge is located on Lake Fenton at 2271 Sonora Drive, Fenton, 48430.

Overflow parking will be available at Fenton Winery and Brewery, Fenton Lanes, and Lake Fenton Middle School, with a shuttle service starting at 10:30 AM.

I've never been brave enough to take the plunge myself at the Fenton Polar Plunge, but I have attended quite a few over the years. The event is more than just a chilly dip into the water. It is a full-on party, filled with energy, excitement, and a great sense of community.

Be sure to bundle up, and if you are not arriving early, make sure to take advantage of the shuttle service.
