Polar Plunge
2026-03-21 11:00 | Oakland Waterfront Park, 22 Belgrade Ave, Oakland, ME
Waterville, ME - February 19 - The 2026 Polar Plunge is making a splash for a powerful cause: providing nutritious meals to youth in local programs. This high-energy winter fundraising event invites individuals, teams, families, and businesses to take the icy plunge and help combat youth hunger and food insecurity in the community.
Proceeds from the Polar Plunge fundraising event will directly support meal programs for youth, ensuring that children and teens enrolled in youth programs at the Alfond Youth & Community Center (AYCC) have consistent access to healthy meals and snacks. Funds raised will help offset rising food costs and sustain critical youth nutrition initiatives that support learning, growth, and overall well-being.
"Food insecurity impacts a child's ability to learn, grow, and thrive," said Katherine Harvey, AYCC's Senior Director of Philanthropy. "By taking part in the Polar Plunge, you're joining a fun and meaningful community effort to ensure the youth we serve have reliable access to nutritious meals. Over the past year, the AYCC has provided more than 65,000 meals and snacks to children across our sites. While grant funding covers approximately 50% of our food costs, the remaining support comes from community members like you."
The 2026 Polar Plunge encourages participants to register online, create individual or team fundraising pages, and collect donations in the lead-up to the event. Supporters can plunge, donate, or cheer on participants, all while contributing to a mission that directly benefits local youth.
Event Details:

When: Saturday, March 21 @ 11:00 am
Where: Oakland Boat Launch, Old Belgrade Avenue, Oakland, Maine
Who: Individuals, teams, families, businesses, and community groups
Register: https://secure.frontstream.com/polar-plunge-2026

Why It Matters:
The Polar Plunge is more than a cold-water challenge; it's a community-driven fundraiser to fight youth hunger. Many children rely on schools and youth programs for daily meals and snacks. This event helps ensure those programs can continue to provide healthy, reliable nutrition in a welcoming, and supportive environment. Participants are encouraged to fundraise, share their plunge on social media, and help raise awareness about food insecurity among youth.

The Irish Tenors
2026-03-20 20:00 | Waterville Opera House, 1 Common Street, Waterville, ME, United States
Date: Friday, March 20 at 8pm
Organization: Waterville Opera House
Venue: Waterville Opera House, 1 Common Street, Waterville, Maine
This event is eligible for the Youth Arts Access Fund.
The Irish Tenors have been touring together since 1998, with sold-out shows at Radio City Music Hall, Sydney Opera House, Carnegie Hall, The Hollywood Bowl, and major concert halls throughout the world. Their faces and voices are familiar to PBS audiences through several specials, including the “Ellis Island” recordings that sold a million CDs and DVDs.
Since they first joined voices in 1998, The Irish Tenors have made countless traditional treasures breathe with new life. Moreover, they’ve proven themselves gifted interpreters of a wide range of material, with such songs as “My Heart Will Go On” (from Titanic), “Fairytale Of New York”(previously recorded by Kirsty MacColl and The Pogues) and even Jimmy Kennedy’s “South Of The Border (Down Mexico Way)”.
They are surely versatile, but for many, Anthony Kearns, Ronan Tynan, and Patrick Hyland are synonymous with Irish music. There is an aching bittersweet quality to much of Ireland’s musical heritage, a melodic loveliness and emotional intensity that brings a tingle to the spine and a tear to the eye. The dazzling technique and depth of feeling that defines this musical genre, amplified to the third power, is the hallmark of The Irish Tenors.
