Heart of Lewisburg Ice Festival 2024: 20th Annual Polar Bear Plunge (02/03/2024)
Channel: The Lewistown Trainspotter
Date: 2024-02-06

The Heart of Lewisburg Ice Festival is an annual event held in Lewisburg, PA on the first weekend of February. This includes the carving of ice sculptures sponsored by businesses on Market Street, as well as a 5K on Saturday morning, the annual Polar Bear Plunge, and more.

In this video, I film the Polar Bear Plunge, where participants run down the Saint George Boat Launch into the cold waters of the West Susquehanna River.  This event raises funds for the Lewisburg Neighborhoods organization. This kicked off at 2:30 PM and went through 2:50 PM, as in prior years.

This is my third time filming this event, me having previously filmed the 2020 and 2023 events. You can see those events here:
