You don't want to miss the 4th annual Spring Splash 2026!
Join us as we take the ultimate plunge into spring---straight into the icy waters of the Long Island Sound. This year, we’ve shifted the event to May so that while the water will still deliver that signature polar‑plunge chill, the air will be crisp, bright, and beautiful. It’s the perfect blend of thrill and comfort.And because bravery deserves rewards, we’ll be raffling off one adult and one kids Dryrobe, the ultimate prize for thawing out in style.
This is the kind of moment you’ll talk about all year---a chance to laugh, cheer, and make unforgettable memories with family, friends, classmates, teams, clubs, and neighbors. Whether you’re diving in for the adrenaline, the camaraderie, or just the bragging rights, it’s an experience you won’t want to miss.&nbsp;&nbsp;
Come join the party on May 3, 2026, doors/registration opens at 10:00a (we're getting wet at 10:45a) at the Surf Club! Celebrate before and after your Splash with music, hot and cold beverages, delicious bites and more! Register at:&nbsp;&nbsp;<a href="https://runsignup.com/Race/CT/Madison/SpringSplash" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">runsignup.com/Race/CT/Madison/SpringSplash</a>
The Spring Splash is brought to you the Madison Jaycees, a 70-year-old, volunteer-based, 501(c)(3) non-profit organization with a mission to improve the lives of those who live along the central CT shoreline. &nbsp;Over the past 10 years, we have donated over half a million dollars to families and local charities in need. &nbsp;The Jaycees also award annual College Scholarships to deserving graduates of Daniel Hand and Guilford High Schools.

Small Batch Cellars

<a href="https://slambovia.com/home" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">The Slambovian Circus of Dreams</a> kick off the Summer Music Series at Connecticut's Small Batch Cellars, this Sunday, May 3rd, 4:oo pm in North Haven. Voted "Best Band" by NY’s Chronogram Magazine, their rootsy, rockin’ psychedelia, fantastic stories and songs, create exciting live shows that are legendary. Woodstock-tinged Americana blends a cool mix of southern rock, Celtic and British folk combined with solid songwriting - a slice of Americana pie that is irresistible!
“A perfect bridge between past and present, keeping the authenticity, storytelling and countercultural mindset of the sixties alive while still making it their own.” “They’re the kind of band you don’t just listen to – you become part of their universe.”- Karl Sharicz, Rock &amp; Roll Underdogs (2025 Palmetto Publishing)
Joziah Longo leads with vocals described as "soothing and bewitching as a snake oil tonic.” Longtime bandmates Tink Lloyd (accordion, cello, mandolin, flute) and guitarist/ mandolin wizard Sharkey McEwen bring their own magic to the Slambovian brew with “a little help from their friends”...
