Past events

California Historical Radio Society, also known as Radio Central, is a working radio and communications museum in central Alameda on the main island. The space is in an older former telephone building, with high-ceilinged rooms filled with vintage radios, early televisions, broadcast consoles, and other communication gear. Regular open hours are limited, so most people encounter the place during scheduled programs or special events.

For events like talks, musical tributes, and technical presentations, the museum sets up a straightforward indoor gathering area among the exhibits, usually with rows of chairs and a small performance or presentation zone. Larger happenings such as Radio Day By The Bay spill out into the surrounding outdoor area, with tents, vendor tables, food, live music, and demonstrations running through the day. It tends to draw a mix of radio hobbyists, local families, and curious visitors, and the staff and volunteers are used to explaining older equipment to people who are seeing it for the first time.

The organization behind the museum is a non-profit educational group founded in 1974, focused on preserving and interpreting the history of radio and wireless communication, especially in California and the Bay Area. The building itself is more than a century old and originally served as a telephone facility, which fits the focus on communication technology. Visitors coming for an event can expect a low-key, historically minded setting where the surroundings are part of the experience, with most activities framed by displays of radios and related artifacts from the early 1900s onward.
