Mid-Autumn Moved to Saturday, Plus a Sound Bath and Castanets
Last week we sent you to the Mid-Autumn Festival on the 26th, and it got postponed to this Saturday. So it's back at the top of the list. Saturday is the better day, 71 with a slight chance of showers. Sunday is 67 with about a 39 percent chance, so Sunday's pick is indoors.
Big energy
