Event Details
From Japanese dishes, kitchen items and crystal glasses to electronics, toys and artwork, there is always something for everyone at the annual MBT Yard Sale. This year our Yard Sale will be on Saturday, September 8.
The Yard Sale is an outreach, as well as a fund-raising, event with many customers being neighbors out with their dogs or riding their bikes. It’s also a great social event with many old and new friends having a great time working together as volunteers for the Yard Sale—from sorting and pricing before the sale to manning tables during it.
Because it’s an annual event, it’s always a good time to start setting aside items to donate for the next MBT Yard Sale.

No-No Boy’s work might best be described as an audiovisual soundtrack of the Asian American experience. This multimedia project of music and archival images, spearheaded by former indie rocker Julian Saporiti and vocalist Erin Aoyama, takes us on a journey to the stories of our parents, our ancestors and ourselves in ways that we haven’t yet experienced. And they’ll be bringing all of this to MBT for a performance with Ho Etsu Taiko on Saturday, Sept. 29 (more about the MBT Event).
Where: MBT Social Hall
When: September 29 at 7:00pm
Get Tickets: Tickets are available through Eventbrite (click here) or contacting the MBT office.
