About Us

Exterior view of Aripeka Elks Lodge 2520 with parked cars.

Locals around Denton Avenue have known this lodge as a gathering place that punches above its weight. Car shows that draw hundreds, craft fairs where vendors call the crowd genuinely warm, a coin club that meets every second Thursday, and a history that once put Frankie Valli on the stage. The 4.5-star rating across 130 reviews reflects something real: when this lodge hosts an event, it becomes a true community occasion, not just a function room rental.

The building is spacious and the parking lot is generous, two things that matter when you're running a show or a meeting. The Elks tradition runs deep here. Lodge 2520 is part of the Benevolent and Protective Order of Elks, a national fraternal organization with a century-long commitment to veterans' causes, youth programs, and local charitable giving. That mission is alive in Hudson, even as the programming evolves from big concert nights toward leagues, shows, and member-driven events.

If you've driven past on Denton and wondered what goes on inside, the answer is: more than you'd expect from the outside. Stop in on an event night and you'll likely leave having traded business cards with a vendor, caught up with a neighbor, or signed up for something you didn't know you needed.

What We Offer

Lodge 2520 hosts a rotating calendar of public and member events throughout the year. Community car shows and craft fairs anchor the schedule, drawing vendors and visitors from across Pasco County and beyond. The Pasco Coin Club holds its monthly meeting here on the second Thursday at 6:30 p.m., open to collectors of all experience levels.

Membership in the Elks unlocks access to the lodge hall for private gatherings, participation in charitable initiatives supporting veterans and youth, and a built-in network of neighbors who show up when it counts. The lodge has ample space for meetings, league nights, and private events, with parking that can accommodate large turnouts.

For vendors and event organizers, the track record speaks clearly: past shows here have been described as successful and well-attended, with a customer base that actually buys. Reach out through the national Elks contact portal to inquire about event scheduling, membership, or volunteering.

"This Elks Club used to be a busy place with 6 big shows a season. Ww saw Frankie Valli here many years ago. Still a friendly place but the big shows are gone replaced by a corn hole league. The barroom still has that “club feel”."

"OK place, management not very friendly and accommodating. Lots of room and lots of parking. Pasco Coin Club monthly meeting (2nd Thursday each month at 6:30pm). Kinda old and dingy, outdated everything. We book location and they overbook our events seems like all the time. Better than nothing..."

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
