January 25 @ 10:00 am – 3:00 pm
Organized by the Oakland Museum Women’s Board (OMWB), the White Elephant Sale is the largest rummage sale in Northern California and the biggest annual fundraising event benefiting the Oakland Museum of California (OMCA). The sale returns for the 2026 season, starting with its Preview Sale on January 25, 10 am–3 pm, and running through the beginning of March.
Tickets are now available online at whiteelephantsale.org.
For the health and safety of our volunteer workers and our patrons, we must impose the following restrictions:
- No children under 12 (including infants in front carriers) will be allowed.
- Only service animals are permitted in the warehouse. As defined by the ADA, a service animal is an animal that is individually trained to do work or perform tasks for persons with disabilities. Animals that solely provide companionship, comfort, or emotional support are not considered service animals and will not be allowed in the warehouse.
- No food or drinks (except water) inside the warehouse.
Backpacks and shopping carts are not permitted in the warehouse and must be checked in at the door before entry.
This is a cashless event. All transactions must be made by credit/debit card or Apple Pay.
All sales are final. No refunds.
