About Us

Elks Lodge #450 has stood on South Main Street as one of Harrisonburg's most recognizable civic institutions, part of the Benevolent and Protective Order of Elks, a fraternal organization founded in 1868 with over a million members nationwide. Members here take that mission seriously, channeling it into local scholarships, veterans support, and community fundraisers that put real dollars back into the Shenandoah Valley.

Step inside and you'll find a venue that does more than host events. The staff decorated for a recent 50th birthday party and guests said they exceeded every expectation. That kind of hands-on attention is what separates a lodge hall from a rented banquet room. The team here treats your milestone like it matters, because to them it does.

Beyond private events, the lodge is a gathering place for members who share a commitment to service, camaraderie, and giving back. If you're looking for a space that carries both history and heart, Lodge #450 delivers both without the country-club price tag.

What We Offer

The lodge offers banquet hall rental for private events including birthday parties, bridal showers, anniversaries, reunions, and corporate gatherings. The space accommodates groups of varying sizes, and the staff can coordinate decoration and setup so you arrive to a room that's already ready.

Beyond event hosting, Elks Lodge #450 provides an active membership program with regular social events, community service projects, veterans outreach, and scholarship opportunities for local students. Members gain access to the lodge facilities, a network of fellow Elks across the country, and the satisfaction of contributing to causes that genuinely move the needle in Harrisonburg.

For prospective members or event clients, reaching out early is recommended since the calendar fills quickly around peak seasons. The lodge is located at 482 S Main St, easy to find and centrally situated for guests coming from across the valley.

"Owner was very rude over the phone. He asked me what my event was for and for what time. I told him 5-10pm for a small bridal shower. He said you’d need to be out by 10pm and I said okay. He then says “well we don’t even do evening events because they don’t have staffing to set up or clean up at that time”. I thought to myself, then why would you tell me that I need to be out by 10pm (Internally). I started to answer with “we could set up and clean up ourselves—“ but then he kept rudely interrupting me repeating the words, “Our rate is 150 dollars, our rate is 150 dollars” over and over as I was trying to talk. I immediately ended the call on him because I found that very disrespectful and rude. He had a rude tone from the moment we got on the call."

A Proud Heritage

The Elks gave America
Flag Day.

Long before it was a national observance, the Order set aside June 14th to honor the flag. Patriotism has always been one of our cardinal principles, and every lodge meeting still closes the same way it has for over a century.

“To our absent members.” — the Eleven O’Clock Toast
