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 😅

We have some tents, so, even if it rains, we will be outside for (during) the party.
(outside but covered by the tents if it is raining).

Perfectly clear. Thanks @RonnieT
We also tend to drag out the first "so" - sooooo, what do we do now? - but I'm sure you already knew that 💪
