South Jamesport Leprechaun Leap Raises Funds for St. Patrick's Parade

South Jamesport will host the Leprechaun Leap polar plunge at Miamogue Point at 12:00 p.m. on Saturday, March 14, 2026, with proceeds supporting the East End Emerald Society for the Jamesport St. Patrick’s Day Parade. Eventbrite’s listing invites would-be plungers with the line, "Get ready to jump into icy waters for a chilly thrill and loads of fun at the Polar Plunge!" and adds, "Don't miss out on the excitement and the chance to make some awesome memories with your community."

Event organizers set a full-day schedule starting at The Watershed. Eventbrite shows "10:00am Registration begins at The Watershed Kitchen & Inn," followed by "11:30am Local Favorite Frank Palmeri will perform our National Anthem," then "12:00pm The Leap" at Miamogue Point, and "12:30- 3:30 Follow us back at the Watershed for Live Music & an extended Happy Hour." The Watershed location is listed on Eventbrite as The Watershed Kitchen and Bar, 46 Front Street, Jamesport, NY 11970.

Tickets and on-site inclusions are listed on the Eventbrite page: "Tickets purchased in advance are $55. $60 at the Door." The registration package is advertised to include "Starting at 12:30pm 2 Hour Open Bar(Beer & Wine)" and a "Buffet of Chili, Corn Bread, Sheppard's Pie, & Macaroni Salad." The Eventbrite refund policy is stated plainly as "No refunds."

RiverheadLOCAL reported on Feb. 25, 2026 that the Leprechaun Leap would take place March 14, 2026 and noted participants are invited to gather at the Watershed Kitchen & Bar in South Jamesport, corroborating the Eventbrite timeline and venue. Eventbrite and RiverheadLOCAL both list the East End Emerald Society as the beneficiary: "Fundraising Proceeds will be donated to the East End Emerald Society for the Jamesport St. Patrick's Day Parade."

East End LOCAL places the polar plunge in a wider calendar of local St. Patrick’s events this season, including the East End Emerald Society’s Grand Marshal Ball on Friday, March 6 at The Vineyards Caterers in Aquebogue beginning at 6 p.m., the Riverhead Lions Club St. Patrick’s Day dinner at Riverhead Polish Hall, and a Wading River Shoreham Chamber of Commerce Earth Day Cleanup on Sunday, April 19. The Leprechaun Leap’s advance tickets and the post-plunge open bar and buffet are the primary fundraising mechanisms organizers say will boost support for the Jamesport parade.
