The first Friday of every month, May through September, is an opportunity for you and your family & friends to enjoy the amazing shops and restaurants in Downtown Novato. Grant Avenue from Machin to Reichert will become pedestrian-only from 5-10pm every First Friday. Enjoy extended business hours and “sip & shops” from many retailers. Restaurants will be hosting live music and expanded seating. This is the perfect way to explore Novato’s lively downtown scene.
