Kersfees is amptelik net om die draai nou as Dover Stadsraad ingelui in die seisoen met hul skouspelagtige Christmas Lights Switch-On Saterdag 5 Desember. Biggin Street Market Square was lewendig met stalletjies, vermaak en vakansie moed. Die heersende winde het nie mense weerhou om uit te kom en by in die feestelikhede. The indoor market in the former Claire Accessories provided a warm oasis of activities and craft stalls. Van 12:30 om 4:30 daar was 'n volgepakte program van musiek en Kersfees moed in oorvloed op die hoofverhoog gebied in die Markplein. Die Real rendier is terug hierdie jaar in die Markplein omgewing en die Newfoundland Splashpals betaal 'n middag besoek aan Markstraat met hul Kersfees Rytuie. The climbing wall proved a popular addition to the day and with Santa on hand in his grotto to listen to all the youngster’s requests, die dorp kon nie meer feestelike gewees. After a full day of happiness and merriment, The Town Mayor of Dover and the Casts of the Dover Theatrical Christmas Pantomimes joined the Dover Community Radio Roadshow to turn on the Christmas illuminations at the stroke of 5, lighting up the town and marking the start of the holidays.
