Buckeye Lake Region Chamber of Commerce
Winterfest
Winterfest 2026 – Saturday, January 31st
North Shore Park
Buckeye Lake’s Biggest Party of the Winter
Join “Benny the Bass” at dawn on the last Saturday of January at the North Shore Ramp to see if he takes the bait and predicts an early spring or refuses breakfast, which means six more weeks of winter. Regardless of the outcome, Buckeye Lake celebrates Winterfest with fireworks, activities around the lake, live music, art shows, food & drink specials, food trucks + more!
2026 Buckeye Lake Polar Plunge
At this event, participants will jump into the chilly water of Buckeye Lake; all proceeds from the event will go to the United Way Foundation. There will be live music, food, wine, and prizes for individual and team costumes!
More coming soon!
