The Plunge is back with an icy cold splash on March 5th! The festivities begin with a Costume Contest at Noon, and plunging commences immediately after. 

This year we’ll once again be playing it safe. Brave hearted plungers will jump into Oakdale Lake’s frigid water in staggered shifts, and spectators will only be allowed outdoors for everyone’s safety. You can also enjoy the show via livestream in the cozy comfort of your living room. A link to the livestream will be posted closer to the event. See more details about the safety plan on the FAQ page.

Donations support two hugely important Hudson institutions that promote safe recreation in and around the water! Proceeds are split evenly between the Hudson Youth Department Waterfront Program and the Hudson Fire Department’s Water Rescue and Dive Team. The Dive Team uses its share to upgrade aging equipment, and continually train their all-volunteer team, keeping our entire community safer. The Youth Department’s share goes towards Lifeguard Training and expanded hours for free summer fun on the beach! Learn more about our local heroes HERE.

Here’s how you can support these two great organizations: 

REGISTER today, as an individual or a team, and start raising funds. Last day to Register is Thursday March 3rd.

The Friends of Hudson Youth are bringing back The Plunge with an icy cold splash on February 27th! This year will be playing it HUDSON SAFE. Brave hearted plungers will still jump into Oakdale Lake’s frigid water, in staggered shifts, while spectators can enjoy the show via live stream only, starting at 11am.

Funds raised by the Plunge support two fundamental Hudson institutions. They enable the Fire Department Water Rescue & Dive Team to acquire new and improved life saving equipment and enhance the skills of their team through advanced training exercises. And it allows the Youth Department to maintain a a robust Lifeguard Program. The Lifeguard program allows a broad cross section of our community to enjoy free summer time recreation at Oakdale Lake and gives local youth a dynamic workforce development opportunity.  To make a donation, visit https://secure.qgiv.com/event/oakdale-plunge-2021/donate/
