Light rain and live music—Sunday's got options.

Good morning. It's a soft, grey Sunday—16 degrees with light rain moving through, so pack layers and an umbrella if you're heading out. UV's negligible, so no burn risk if the clouds break. You've got a good 15 hours of daylight to play with, and sunset's not until 9:01 PM, so evening plans can run late.

One thing to flag if you're heading down to White Rock later in the week: come next Sunday (August 2nd), the 361 and 362 are running detours starting at 6:30 PM due to a special event. Looks like Columbia Ave and the surrounding streets are getting rerouted for the evening, so if you're catching a late bus down that way, check ahead.

Locally, Sport Chek's Mount Pleasant flagship is closing shop after nearly 20 years—if you've got gear on your list, might be worth a visit before it goes. Also worth knowing: there's a real uptick in blessing scams targeting elderly Chinese seniors in the city. If you've got parents or grandparents around, a quick check-in about unsolicited calls or requests for money isn't a bad idea.

If brunch is on the agenda, Fanny Bay Oyster Bar's got weekend service back on with smoked oyster quiche and their Lavender Shaft cocktail. For something different, there's a new Ukrainian spot on the North Shore—Kozak—doing handmade pierogies and shashlyk if you're craving that. And if you want wine with the day, Anthony Gismondi's got a solid list of 11 B.C. wines worth sipping on a day like this.

Evening's got a few options. Come From Away's on at the Stanley Industrial Alliance Stage at 2:00 PM if theatre's your thing. For live music, Alabama Shakes are playing Freedom Mobile Arch at 7:00 PM, and Fulton Lee's doing a set at The Pearl at 7:30 PM. If you're into fitness or sport, the IFBB Vancouver Pro Qualifier's running at River Rock from 9:00 AM, and there's tennis at the VanOpen at Hollyburn Country Club from 10:00 AM.

With rain outside and the day stretching long, you could easy spend it indoors with music and a drink, or catch one of the daytime events and make an evening of it. Either way, you're covered.

Stay dry out there.
