The annual Jacksonport Thanksgiving Day Parade is a fun-loving, eclectic parade — a labor of love put in motion by residents and built upon the theme of neighbors helping neighbors.
The parade starts at 10:30 a.m. at the Jacksonport Town Hall, takes a right on Wisconsin 57 to Mike’s Port Pub where it turns around and heads back to JJ’s of Jacksonport.
The Jacksonport Polar Bear Club invites you to join them in Jacksonport each New Year’s Day at noon sharp (Central time) for a refreshing dip in the icy water of Lake Michigan. The event began in 1986 and now draws hundreds of participants and a thousands more who just want to watch the spectacle. Most of the club members survived, and you can too!
There is no cost to participate in the swim. If you are planning to be a Polar Bear and take the plunge, be sure to check out the club’s website for important instructions and helpful hints.
