The Borough isn't exactly known for it's night-life, but it takes on a slightly different character when the sun goes down. Whether it's a liesurely stroll through town on a warm summer's night, or viewing the early dusk and evening chill of winter from a ride through town, Downingtown is worth seeing at night.
