The fate of the Port Washington Pirate Festival rests in limbo after the organizer and city officials go head-to-head regarding several problems with the event and communication between the two parties.
Port Washington Pirate Festival has hit rocky waters as the event organizer and city officials clashed on Tuesday night about the event's structure and reputation. City Administrator Mark Grams and Mayor Tom Mlada seemed ready to watch event organizer Kim McCulloch walk the plank, saying McCulloch has not complied with a number of city requests and deadlines meant to coordinate efforts between her and the city as well as avoid problems from past years. On top of that, the festival also has outstanding bills owed to vendors, and the city is upset by the number of calls its received from those parties hoping to be paid; many people don't understand the city isn't actually in charge of the event.

"Dude, this is crazy." That's what one participant — and likely many others as well as spectators in the crowd — said at the annual Polar Bear Dip on New Year's Day (2012) in Port Washington while watching hundreds plunge into the frigid Lake Michigan for no reason other than to celebrate the New Year. In it's 26th year, the annual event began in 1987 when local resident John Brinovec decided that he had to do something different after his retirement from his railroading job.

It has since drawn crowds of 200 or more to Lake Michigan each year. Some people only put their toes in, but …
