Downtown Novato is a great place for a romantic evening, with many unique boutique stores to explore that you won’t find on the average high street, and a great selection of restaurants to choose from for your Valentine’s Day dinner for two. To add to the fun, loving couples can enjoy a free horse-drawn carriage ride along our quaint downtown area on Valentine’s Day from 6:30pm till 9:30pm, courtesy of the Downtown Novato Business Association. Pick up locations are 2nd and Grant, and Sherman & Grant. There’s no better way to enjoy the ambience of downtown Novato on this special day.
