Tonight is a pick-your-show night: two stadium-scale concerts both start at 7, with a late stand-up set downtown if you want a second act. The daytime side leans free and hands-on, mostly at the libraries. Forecast is a high of 80 with a 26% chance of rain, so know your indoor fallback before committing to the outdoor picks.

Today's field guide

Donuts, beadwork, and a show at the Winery

Three pairings today, each with a meal built in. Start with donuts at Stan's before free tech help at King Library, spend the afternoon stringing bracelets at Cambrian Library after a schnitzel lunch at Naschmarkt, then close it out at The Mountain Winery with Fia, Johnny Suite, and Western Conference, fondue at La Fondue on either side of the show.

Tonight's pick

Chris Brown and Usher

7:00 PM · Levi's Stadium · Santa Clara

Chris Brown and Usher on one stadium bill is the show you would be annoyed to hear about tomorrow morning. Gates open at 6:00, a full hour before the music, which is worth using at a room this big.
