Happy Tuesday! Hopefully you haven't caught the cold our kids did.

Fall officially starts at 5:05 this afternoon, but Wednesday and Thursday are going to be hot, which is how September works around here. UCSC students are back in class Thursday, and this weekend is stacked with fun events around town.

Reminder: Hot Elevation Studio is $30 off the yoga studio's Elevation Experience for Low Tide readers through Friday, September 25. Mention us at the front desk on 41st Ave.

If you're new here, scroll to the second half for events.
