PORT LUDLOW — Three days of art and music — the Navy’s rock band, the Gypsy jazz group Ranger and the Re-Arrangers, country-rock singer Kellee Bradley — plus food and fireworks.

The annual Festival by the Bay starts today — and runs through Sunday at the Resort at Port Ludlow, 1 Heron Road.

Admission is $7 at the gate for all three days, with children 12 and younger admitted free.

Proceeds benefit the nonprofit Olympic Community Action Programs and Chimacum public schools.

The Firemen’s Breakfast starts the activities from 8 a.m. to 11 a.m. today at the resort’s Beach Club. Admission is $5 for pancakes, sausage, eggs, coffee and juice.

Then, once festival-goers are nourished, comes a parade of bands, boat and car displays and the festival’s golf and tennis tournaments.

The Port Ludlow Artists’ League is presenting a show, too, with more than 20 participating painters, sculptors and potters.

For details on all of this, visit www.PLFest.org.
