Get your own Set, free, every Thursday. The forecast at Sugar House Park says 83 and sunny today, then 83 again Friday. Halloween is twenty-three days away.

No ticket, but only 80 seats, first come. Circus holds a small kid's attention, and an open plaza with music is the easiest place on the bench to stand near strangers. Of everything in this issue, it is the one I would build a Friday night around. The forecast for Friday night is 62 and mostly cloudy. The Millcreek Farmers Market runs until 9 that night, so you can do both. Arrive early if you want to see over anybody. |
