Ah! I see

-> Tenemos algunas tiendas, así que aunque llueva, estaremos afuera para (durante) la fiesta.

Use «Asi que» for “So.” I notice a lot of English speakers think «Entonces» means “so” but that is not always the case. When speaking in English, there are two 'so'

1.) The one that is said with a pause.

So, what do we do now?

In Spanish, you would use «entonces» there.

Entonces, ¿qué hacemos ahora?

2.) The second 'so' is the one that is said without a pause, which is the one in your sentence.

We have some tents, so even if it rains...

Tenemos algunas tiendas, así que aunque llueva...

In that case, we use «Asi que» (I removed the commas in the English sentence to make it look the way people speak)

I hope my explanation is clear 😅

Hmm it's a bit confusing. This is what you're saying:

“We have some tents, then, even if it rains, we will be outside because of the party”

Or “... by/near the party”

For the first part, I think you meant to say:

«Tenemos algunas tiendas, así que aunque llueva...»

But I don't understand the last part. Could you write it in English?

(outside but covered by the tents if it is raining).
