☀️ sunny · high 83°, low 57°
It is a proper market Sunday: farmers markets run this morning in Mountain View, Los Gatos, Campbell, and Palo Alto, all free and all before noon. Tonight splits between a big name and free lawns, with Trevor Noah at the Mountain Winery while Cupertino hosts outdoor Shakespeare and Los Gatos puts Estero on the Civic Center lawn. Full sun and zero rain, so every outdoor option is live.
Today's field guide
Games, a matinee, and baseball at dusk
Three separate ideas today, each with a meal that fits: Stan's donuts before the final Rx+ day of the CrossFit Games, brisket at Smoking Pig before the 1 PM Sound of Music matinee with audio description (an open-caption performance also runs at 6:30), and the Giants' Japanese Heritage Night with dinner at San Pedro Square Market after the game. Pick the one that fits your crowd, or string the whole day together.
