About Us

The Elks Lodge at 104 River St has been part of Sidney's fabric long enough that locals don't think of it as a venue, they think of it as theirs. Weddings have been celebrated on the grounds with outdoor ceremonies that guests still talk about. Families have gathered here to honor lives well lived, finding the space warm and the staff genuinely accommodating. The Sidney lodge consistently earns praise as one of the nicest in the region, and that reputation is earned one event at a time.

The lodge is also a hub for community happenings, including the popular Sidney Gun Show each winter, where cabin fever meets good company and a plate of reasonably priced, home-style food. It's exactly the kind of mid-winter gathering that reminds people why small towns matter.

The Benevolent and Protective Order of Elks has stood for charity, justice, brotherly love, and fidelity since 1868. This chapter carries that mission forward on the banks of the Susquehanna, serving members and the broader Sidney, NY community with pride.

What We Offer

The lodge at River Street opens its doors for weddings, receptions, memorial services, celebrations of life, community shows, and private events of all kinds. The outdoor ceremony area has been the backdrop for beautiful weddings, and the interior provides flexible space for receptions and banquets that feel personal rather than institutional.

Food service is a genuine highlight. Whether it's a catered event or concessions at a community show, guests consistently praise the quality and the value. The lodge also hosts regular membership dinners, fundraisers, and charity events that support local families and national Elks initiatives.

For prospective members, the lodge offers a brotherhood built on real relationships and community action. From youth programs to veteran support to local scholarships, membership here means contributing to something that outlasts any single event.

"Attended a wedding there. it was done very nicely. The ceremony was outside, and the setup was beautiful. Don't know if the food was through the Elks or brought in, but it was good. The setup was functional and easy for guests to maneuver. Parking was good."

"We had 2 celebrations of my dad's life. Both were in Elks lodges since my brother is a member. I really have to say that they both offered a great place to gather, the lodge in Sidney was much nicer and more up to date. There were two events being held, and it was as smooth as silk. I really liked the decor also. Thank you for the great service and for being so friendly and warm."

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.
