About Us

Exterior view of Danbury Elks Lodge No. 120.

On Sugar Hollow Road, perched above a private lake with its own dock, Danbury Elks Lodge No. 120 has been a gathering place for Danbury-area families, veterans, and community members for generations. The recently rebuilt lodge hall is spacious enough for large banquets and celebrations, yet the atmosphere stays warm and personal. Step onto the wide outdoor deck and you are looking at a lake most people in Fairfield County never even know exists.

Thursday nights draw a reliable crowd, and regulars will tell you the energy in the room is hard to find anywhere else in town. The Benevolent and Protective Order of Elks has stood for charity, justice, brotherly love, and fidelity since 1868, and Lodge 120 carries that mission forward every week through fundraisers, youth scholarships, and support for local veterans.

With a 4.4-star rating earned from members and guests who keep coming back, this is not a dusty hall frozen in the past. It is an active, welcoming organization that happens to have one of the most scenic spots in Danbury as its backyard.

What We Offer

The lodge offers a full calendar of events anchored by lively Thursday night gatherings that draw members and guests for food, drinks, and good company. The main hall accommodates large private events, including retirement parties, fundraiser dinners, memorial services, and community banquets, all supported by an attentive staff that members consistently praise.

Outside, the lakeside deck and private dock create an event backdrop that no banquet hall in the area can replicate. Sit on the patio, watch the water, and let the setting do the work. The lodge also coordinates youth scholarship programs, veteran outreach initiatives, and charitable drives throughout the year, giving members concrete ways to give back to the Danbury community beyond just showing up for meetings.

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.
