The fun will begin with an enlightening Lantern Parade which will begin at 5.45pm from the top of Yorkshire Street.
A brass band, choir, street performers and children from local primary schools will all be helping to create the winter wonderland.
The parade will wind its way down the main shopping street and will culminate with the lights officially being switched on by Dora at 6.30pm on the stage on the Butts.
As always, keep your eyes peeled for a few special suprises!
