The lodge bar is the social core of the building, a place where members gather after work, after a car show, or after a long week with no particular occasion required. Events rotate through the calendar year, from themed cook-offs to outdoor gatherings, so there's usually something on the schedule worth showing up for.
Beyond the bar and events, Lodge #2278 offers its facilities for community fundraisers and local causes. The space has accommodated everything from fire department events to large group gatherings, and the Elks membership brings the kind of volunteer energy that makes those events actually run. If you're looking to get involved, the lodge sponsors charitable programs through the national Elks National Foundation, supporting veterans, youth, and local scholarship recipients throughout the Arvada area.
