Elktoberfest: Beers, Brats, and Bands
Join the B.P.O.E. Elks of Vancouver in celebrating their first-ever Elktoberfest. This event blends the tradition of German fare, with beer, brats, and bands.
Elktoberfest will take place on Friday and Saturday, September 27th and 28th, in the big back yard at the Elks Lodge.
Enjoy traditional German fare, music, local vendors, a sweet shop, and yard games, so be ready for tons of fun!
This new festival serves as a fundraiser for the Vancouver Elks Lodge and the multiple charities it supports. “Each year, the Vancouver Elks 823 raises thousands of dollars that
we ultimately donate to our charities,” says Traci Kezar, Elktoberfest and Public Relations Chairman, “including but not limited to Veteran’s weekly bingo, Christmas baskets and Christmas party for the needy, School Backpack Program, and the Children’s Therapy Program which aids therapists that care for the mentally and physically challenged children in Washington State, easing the emotional and financial burdens placed on families.”

THE LOUGH LEGACY VETERANS PARADE

The Lough Legacy Veterans Parade celebrates the service and sacrifice area veterans have made for our freedom in partnership with the City of Vancouver. These events are made possible through a generous donation from Frank and JoAnne Lough who dedicated resources in support of Veterans Day Services.
Year after year, dedicated volunteers and local organizations and businesses have helped to ensure that our community can continue to recognize and honor our veterans at the annual Veterans Parade.
Each year, the parade averages over 100 parade entries, nearly 2,400 people marching, and more than 5,000 spectators.
