The Oakland Museum s Beloved White Elephant Sale Goes Online Starting Saturday Morning
The Oakland Museum needs your money more than ever, and while last year s White Elephant sale managed to happen before the pandemic set it in, this year s will, for the very first time, be fully online.
The massive warehouse rummage sale, known for its excellent vintage clothing, furniture, and knick-knack finds at often reasonable prices, obviously won t be the same without the long lines, crowds, and chaos. But without all that madness, and without the usual preview sale reserved for museum members, you just might have a better chance of scoring some treasure this year.

The annual White Elephant Sale event that benefits the Oakland Museum will be going virtual this year. There are no actual dates announced yet, but event organizers said over the weekend that the sale will be held in the late spring with all the items listed online. The event is touted as Northern California’s largest rummage sale. It has been hosted by the Oakland Museum Women’s Board for over 60 years. Donations of gently used items are still being taken in but officials say that they can not accept as many as they normally would because the online sale will be smaller.
