About Us

A band setting up on stage at the Elks Lodge.
A band setting up on stage at the Elks Lodge.

On any given Friday night at Elks Lodge 2247, you might catch the GMG Band rolling in from Cabot or Now and Then driving down from Little Rock, filling the hall with the kind of music that keeps people on their feet until last call. With a 4.2-star rating built on 61 real reviews, this lodge has earned its reputation the old-fashioned way: good friends, cold drinks, and a stage that draws genuine talent.

The lodge sits at 3708 Evans St in Searcy, Arkansas, and has been a fixture of White County civic life for generations. The Benevolent and Protective Order of Elks is one of America's oldest fraternal organizations, and Lodge 2247 carries that tradition forward with a distinctly Arkansas personality. Fireworks nights, swim events, and community fundraisers keep the calendar full year-round.

Membership here is about more than a membership card. It is about showing up for your neighbors, supporting local musicians who deserve a real audience, and belonging to something that has outlasted trends because it is built on genuine human connection.

What We Offer

Lodge 2247 offers members a full-service bar stocked with cold drinks and a spacious hall that doubles as one of Searcy's best live music venues. Live band nights are a cornerstone of the calendar, regularly featuring regional acts like the Red-21 Band, GMG Band, and Now and Then. If you love Arkansas music, this is where you show up.

Beyond the entertainment, the lodge hosts seasonal community events including fireworks shows and swimming nights that draw families from across White County. Fraternal programming connects members to the national Elks network, including scholarship opportunities, veterans outreach, and youth initiatives that put charitable dollars directly back into the Searcy community.

Private event rental, meeting space for civic groups, and an active social calendar round out the offerings. Whether you are a longtime Elk or just exploring membership for the first time, the lodge staff can walk you through everything at the Evans Street location or through the official contact portal at elks.org.

"So I went there for a fire work show one night and it was a FREE swimming night. I got charged anyway on my debit card for swimming. I called and said I got charged, and of course it was hassle for them to even admit they took my money and now I can't get back it at all, because I "waited to long to come and get it. Regardless or not THATS STILL MY MONEY!!! Thats stealing!! What a joke. The elks sucks anyway."

The Order · Since 1868

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
