Bill Murray Look-a-Like Polar Plunge
Dress as your favorite Bill Murray character and celebrate New Year’s Day by taking a plunge into the frigid ocean water on Folly Beach with lots of other Bill Murray wannabes! The 3rd Annual Bill Murray Look-a-Like Polar Bear Plunge is set to take place on Friday, January 1, 2016. The plunge will take place beachside in front of the Tides Hotel with festivities starting at noon. This is the third year the plunge will pay homage to one of Charleston’s favorite residents, Bill Murray. All attendees are encouraged to come dressed as their favorite Murray movie character and “freeze their bills off.”
Registration for the plunge begins at 12pm at the information booth on the beach and judging of the contests will begin at 1pm. Prizes will be awarded for Best Guy, Best Girl, Best Team and Best Overall Bill Murray, and then attendees will take the cold plunge at 2pm.
Before the plunge, guests can start to recover from New Year’s Eve with cocktail specials at participating Folly Beach businesses. A portion of the proceeds from this event will benefit Folly Beach local charities.
