About Us

On South Seguin Avenue, just south of downtown New Braunfels, Lodge 2279 of the Benevolent and Protective Order of Elks has been a gathering place for the kind of moments that matter: milestone anniversaries, community fundraisers, holiday banquets, and the occasional standing-room Oktoberfest crowd. With a 4.5-star rating across 128 reviews, the feedback tells a consistent story: plenty of space, comfortable seating, and an atmosphere that actually lets you breathe.

The hall easily accommodates 100 or more guests at tables, with ventilation that reviewers specifically called out as a highlight, which is no small thing at a Texas event in October. Comfortable chairs, open sightlines, and an easy-to-find address off a main corridor make logistics simple for organizers and guests alike. This is the kind of room that doesn't fight you when you're trying to pull off something meaningful.

Elks Lodge 2279 is a chartered chapter of a national fraternal organization founded in 1868, dedicated to charity, community service, and the bonds formed among members. Membership opens the door to local events, national resources, and a network of fellow Elks across the country.

What We Offer

The lodge at 353 S Seguin Ave functions as both a private membership club and a community event venue, giving members and the broader New Braunfels area access to a flexible, well-kept space.

Members gather for regular lodge meetings, social nights, and service projects that benefit local veterans, youth programs, and charitable causes tied to the Elks national platform. The hall has hosted Celebrations of Life with 100-plus attendees, holiday parties, and seasonal events like Oktoberfest that bring the community together around food, drink, and live camaraderie. The space handles seated dinners, buffet-style receptions, and standing social events without feeling cramped.

If you're considering membership, Lodge 2279 connects you to a fraternal network with chapters across the United States, access to the Elks National Foundation scholarship programs, and a local community that takes service seriously. Reach the lodge directly through the elks.org member portal at lodge number 2279 to inquire about events, rentals, or membership applications.

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
