Coloma- Lotus Community Hall
The Gold Trail Grange and Coloma-Lotus Community Hall is available to rent for your family gathering, weddings, parties, and events. Please see our Rental page for more information.
The Gold Trail Grange encourages families and neighbors to join together to promote the economic and civic well-being of the community and agriculture. We are committed to fostering education and promoting social events - including festive live music and dance - to help build community in the Coloma Lotus Valley.
November 15th: Irish and Scottish Music Benefit to support community programs at the Grange.
Join us for a multi-media presentation through Ireland and Scotland with Grass Valley’s own Delphine Griffith and the Moss Collective.
Music, song and images of the journey will be presented on stage. At the end of the night, a Ceilidh Dance will be called for all to join in and enjoy.
Musicians Jim Klotz, Jeff Baldwin and Jill Cruey will start the evening off with some old-time Americana music!
Doors open at 6:00, and the event starts at 6:30 pm.
The hall, built in 1926 as a community gathering place, is a venue for a wide variety of presentations and forums. Groups and individuals may rent the building, which has hosted everything from exercise classes to wedding receptions, memorials and birthdays. Each month the Gold Trail Grange has a business meeting and also sponsors community gatherings on a vast range of topics, from meteorites and native plants to League of Women Voters election information and Coloma history. Periodically, the Grange sponsors dances, with live music one of the attractions. The dances are part of a long-standing tradition; early-day Grange treasury reports enumerated expenses for food, orchestras and even floor wax. At one time the “Gold Pannies,” a can-can group made up of local women, entertained at fundraisers. The Grange is located along the beautiful South Fork of the American River that roars and meanders through the heart of the Coloma Lotus Valley, depending on the season.
