Boston’s wildest New Year’s tradition returns

There’s nothing like kicking off the year with a heart-pounding dash into the icy Boston Harbor! The L Street Brownies’ Polar Plunge is more than just a dare—it’s a century-old ritual that brings neighbors together for a burst of health, laughter, and pure adrenaline. On January 1st, locals march from L Street Tavern to M Street Beach, led by bagpipes and drums, all bundled up (or dressed in wild costumes) before taking the plunge. Whether you’re diving in or cheering from the sidelines, it’s a celebration of South Boston’s spirit and community. Who’s brave enough to join this year? #News #BostonTradition #PolarPlunge
