South Bay Today field guide for Sunday, September 27, 2026
Sunny and 72 for a Sunday that stacks its best stuff into the early afternoon: the 49ers at Levi's at 1:05, Bay FC at PayPal Park at 2, and Opera San José's new Don Giovanni at the California Theatre at 2. Tonight splits between Yandel at SAP Center and A. J. Croce with Leo Kottke at the Mountain Winery. Farmers markets fill the morning, and Mountain View's runs in the Hope St. lots for this date only.
Today's field guide
Campbell market stalls, Bay FC at PayPal Park, then Croce plays Croce at the Mountain Winery
Today's guide starts with the three strongest activity picks across Campbell, San Jose, and Saratoga: Campbell Farmers Market, Bay FC vs. Orlando Pride, and A. J. Croce Presents Croce Plays Croce with Leo Kottke. Each one comes with a nearby meal, so these are three self-contained pairings, not one six-stop route. Weather looks like sunny, high 72°.

Around town
Halloween planning is already underway, two threads chase the tail end of moon-festival season (Harvest Moon Festival events and where to find white mooncakes), and a nostalgic post asks who remembers a 1990s San Jose go-kart track.
