South Bay Today
Wednesday, June 10, 2026
Two notable concerts pull at the night: K-rock band The Rose at San Jose Civic and the Queen jukebox musical at San Jose Stage. Cupertino raises the Pride flag at Civic Center Plaza at 3:30, Music on Castro brings a free 5 PM set to downtown Mountain View, and Books Inc. Palo Alto hosts journalist Jonathan Weber on San Francisco's urban future at 7.
Today's field guide
Palo Alto morning, Cupertino's Pride ceremony, Mountain View dinner
Start on Embarcadero with coffee and a Palo Alto art-studio stop, then point the car south for the 3:30 Pride flag raising at Cupertino Civic Center Plaza with performances, speakers, and resource tables. Wrap on Castro Street with noodles in Mountain View. The IEEE storage roadmap talk on the card is genuinely niche, treat it as optional.
