It’s time to put on your shopping shoes and join the Madness — May Madness that is, at the Music Academy of the West.

This year’s May Madness sale will take place from 9 a.m. to 3 p.m. Saturday, May 5 at the Music Academy, 1070 Fairway Road in Santa Barbara.

Items for sale will include furniture, small appliances, kitchenware, fine linens, antiques, silver, crystal, china, rugs, art, books, board games, music and movies, electronics, luggage, jewelry, garden accessories, men’s and women’s clothing, and sports equipment.
