Port Ludlow Connects (formerly the Community Opportunity Fair) originated as a vision of five intrepid women to connect the Port Ludlow Community with a myriad of opportunities to get involved on the local level and continues today as one of PLVC's marquee events. Port Ludlow Connects is held during even-numbered years and showcases a variety of local clubs and activities, opportunities to volunteer in non-profits, and local service organizations. more info...

The Committee works with a cadre of volunteers and our community partners, Astound Broadband and Lakeside Industries, to provide the lights in the roadside median trees on Paradise Bay Road adjacent to the village center to brighten your winter nights.
