About Us

Elks Lodge building with a classic brick facade.
Elks Lodge building with a classic brick facade.

The Fairmont Elks Lodge at 419 Adams St has been a fixture of Marion County life for generations. Members and guests come here to connect over a cold drink, celebrate milestones in the ballroom, and support the charitable work that defines the Benevolent and Protective Order of Elks across the country. The 4.5-star rating from local reviewers tells the story plainly: people keep coming back.

The Lodge sits just off Adams Street with a parking garage right on site, making it one of the most accessible event venues in the Fairmont area. That convenience matters when you're coordinating a wedding reception for 150 guests or organizing a community fundraiser. Reviewers specifically call out the ballroom as a go-to spot, and the staff's willingness to work with organizers on bookings sets it apart from generic banquet halls.

Beyond the events calendar, the Lodge is a genuine gathering place. Members drop in for conversation, a drink at the bar, and the kind of easy camaraderie that's hard to find elsewhere in a busy week. That mix of civic purpose and everyday comfort is what the BPOE has always been about.

What We Offer

The Lodge's ballroom rental is the headline offering, and for good reason. It accommodates large receptions, anniversary parties, retirement dinners, and corporate gatherings with flexible setup options. Call ahead to discuss dates, capacity, and catering arrangements.

Beyond private events, the Lodge provides an active members' lounge with a full bar, televised sports, and regular social nights. The on-site parking garage eliminates the scramble for street parking that plagues so many downtown Fairmont venues, a practical detail that event planners genuinely appreciate.

The Lodge also channels its membership fees and fundraising into Elks National Foundation programs supporting scholarships, veterans, and community youth initiatives. Booking your next event here means your dollars do double duty, funding a night to remember and supporting causes that matter in Fairmont, WV.

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
