Autumn Auction Affair 2026

About This Event

A fall auction gala celebrating America's 250th birthday with a strolling reception, silent and live auctions, live music, and classic cars.

What to Expect

• 1.The strolling reception and auction format means you will be moving between displays and bidding areas rather than sitting through one continuous program. Wear comfortable shoes and take a look around before deciding where to spend your time.
• 2.Classic cars are part of the draw, so leave time to see the museum exhibits as well as the auction items. The museum setting gives you plenty to look at even during quieter moments.
• 3.Silent auctions are easier to browse at your own pace, but keep track of closing times so you do not miss a final bid. For live auction items, decide your limit ahead of time.
• 4.This is a gala-style evening, so dress a little sharper than you would for a regular museum visit. Check the event listing for any dress guidance or arrival details.
• 5.Food and drinks are not specified in the event details, so do not assume the reception includes a full meal. Check with the organizers if you need to plan dinner or have dietary requirements.
