The Voice of East Bay Living

This past Friday, I attended Friday Nights at OMCA and stopped by the Oakland Museum's Pan for Gold! exhibit that is currently open to the public. Great educational activity for the entire family!

Every Friday night from 5pm to 9pm, the  Oakland Museum  is the place to be.  Off the Grid  offers a wonderful display of activities for the entire family. There are gourmet food trucks, a live band, dancing and half-price admission to the museum for adults (18 and under get in for free!). ^Above:   Dukes of Manouche  and Streatery food truck menu from April 17th Off the Grid event at Oakland Museum ^Above: The main entrance to OMCA

It may be the year of the horse but don't forget about those Elephants. It's time for  the 55th annual Oakland Museum White Elephant Sale presented by the Oakland Museum Women's Board. This is a wonderful huge flea market, located in the Jingletown district of Oakland at 333 Lancaster, with thousands of objects including furniture, clothes, jewelry - 17 different departments.  All proceeds go to help support the Oakland Museum. The sale for the public is March 1st and March 2nd (10am-4pm). There are many treasures to be found.
