The Bakersfield Masonic Temple is a great place for gatherings and events! There is a full sized restaurant grade kitchen and banquet area in the spacious basement level. On the second floor, there is a beautiful old theatre, well appointed for musical events, recitals, plays, and the like.
The Masonic Temple housed several local churches after the big quake in 1952 that knocked down most of the town. Past Masonic members are also well known names around town. There are streets and buildings named in their honor.
Just walking inside this beautiful old building will take you into Bakersfield and California history in a way you may never expect.
The Masons don't recruit, but they are always happy to meet men interested in joining their ranks. If you want to see the place or just learn more about Free Masons and Masonic Charities, stop by any day during normal business hours and they will be glad to chat and show you around. I also highly recommend the venue for your special function. read more
