About Us

A couple dances at a reception in the Elks Lodge. — Elks Lodge #528 — A couple dances at a reception in the Elks Lodge.

Ask anyone in Estherville who planned a standout reunion, wedding reception, or banquet, and they'll point you straight to Elks Lodge #528 on IA-9. Rated 4.6 stars by locals who've actually held their most important gatherings here, this lodge has earned its reputation the old-fashioned way: one perfectly executed event at a time.

The building itself is spacious, well-maintained, and genuinely impressive for a northwest Iowa community. But the real draw is the people behind it. Event coordinator Pam has become something of a legend among hosts who've worked with her, known for caring about every detail as if the event were her own. The kitchen crew and bartenders who kept a Class of '68 reunion running smoothly are the same crew you'll get, and guests from that night said they'd be back in five years without hesitation.

This is a lodge that belongs to Estherville. The BPOE mission of charity, justice, brotherly love, and fidelity shows up not in framed slogans but in how the staff treats every guest who walks through the door.

What We Offer

Elks Lodge #528 offers a full-service event venue capable of hosting everything from intimate anniversary dinners to large class reunions and wedding receptions. The hall accommodates sizable gatherings with room to move, dine, and celebrate comfortably.

Full catering and bar service are available, staffed by cooks and bartenders that guests consistently describe as going above and beyond. The kitchen turns out delicious, crowd-pleasing food that keeps people talking long after the night ends. Lodge membership benefits, fraternal programming, and community charity initiatives round out everything the Estherville Elks offer year-round.

For event inquiries, rental availability, and pricing, contact the lodge directly through the national Elks website at elks.org or stop by during posted hours.

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
