⛅ partly cloudy · high 88°, low 60°
Sunday comes in three waves: farmers markets at 9 AM (Campbell's is linked below), free family programs across the libraries after lunch, and a strong evening topped by a symphony playing Undertale at San Jose Civic and Allen Stone with The Dip at The Mountain Winery. Partly cloudy with a high of 88, so every outdoor pick on this list is safe to commit to.
Today's field guide
Waterpark morning, Bay FC afternoon, Winery night
If you only take one, take the evening; a soul and funk double bill at The Mountain Winery is the right way to close an 88 degree Sunday.
