At 10: 30 the unique jumping-into-the-harbor ceremony began. Eight statues of gods were shaken crazily, and then, amid fervent shouts from the crowd, the palanquins and their bearers entered the freezing seawater. The gods are said to use their powers to purify the harbor's water, provide peace and security, and bring trouble-free fishing in the year ahead.
10 點半，全台獨一無二的「跳港」儀式開始，8 座神轎像起乩般地瘋狂甩動，然後在眾人驚嘆聲中，連人帶轎一一躍入冰冷海水中；神明親自下海，以神力洗淨漁港污穢，保護闔境平安，漁事順遂。
