December 28, 2025 — The Little Compton Fire Department announced plans for its annual Polar Plunge, inviting residents and visitors to ring in the New Year with a cold-water tradition at Sakonnet Harbor. The event is scheduled for New Year’s Day, January 1, 2026, with participants set to enter the water promptly at 12:00 p.m. Organizers say the plunge is a fun, community-focused way to kick off the year, bringing people together for camaraderie, tradition, and a shared experience along the waterfront. Community members are encouraged to attend, whether taking the plunge themselves or cheering on participants from shore.
