Friday nights are the Lodge's signature event: bingo starting at 7 p.m., open to anyone 18 and older, with affordable cards and a kitchen serving burgers, shrimp baskets, and fries that keep people coming back week after week. Live music and the Lady of Elks dinner make it feel less like a hall and more like the best Friday night in Jefferson County.
Beyond the weekly rhythm, the Lodge is a genuine event venue. Members and guests have used the space for graduation celebrations, birthday parties, family reunions, and community fundraisers. The kitchen crew handles the food, the space handles the crowd, and the atmosphere handles itself. Rental inquiries are welcome.
The Sunday breakfast rounds out the weekend with a home-cooked spread that has earned a loyal following across Madras. Elk membership also unlocks access to Elks lodges nationwide, making it useful well beyond Oregon. New member applications are open, and prospective members are encouraged to stop in on any event night to see what the Lodge is about before committing.
