Annual International Women's Day Dip
We host annual signature events like International Women's Day!
Celebrate with Us!
International Women's Day (IWD) is a global day in March celebrating the social, economic, cultural and political achievements of women. The day also marks a call to action to create a diverse, equitable, and inclusive world. Groups come together worldwide to celebrate women's achievements, raise awareness against bias, and take action for women's equality!
The Two Maine Mermaids signature International Women’s Day Celebration & Ocean Dip, is an event where we gather to celebrate women for their strength, magic, love and capacity. We join communities, extend hands to all, and together we walk boldly into the icy ocean for a massive cold water dip! Stepping into the ocean we meet adversity with laughter, difficulty with support, and stress with play.
​
This event is not just for folks who identify as women and we welcome anyone who is comfortable centering the experiences of women. ​
​
IWD is one of our favorite dips and by far the largest. This year, to make a bold statement of support for women, we have a lofty goal- to cover Willard Beach end to end in Dippers!
​
Together we want to cover 2100 feet of beach, and walk hand in hand into the water. We're looking to gather 600 folks to cover the beach, so invite a friend, neighbor, cousin, and coworker!
Planning is underway for our 2025 International Women's Day Celebration and Dip! The support from our generous sponsors enables us to host a safe and welcoming event each year!
