Christmas is officially just around the corner now as Dover Town Council ushered in the season with their spectacular Christmas Lights Switch-On on Saturday 5 Disember. Biggin Street ke Dataran Pasar masih hidup dengan gerai-gerai, hiburan dan percutian bersorak. Angin lazim tidak menghalang rakyat dari keluar dan menyertai dalam perayaan. The indoor market in the former Claire Accessories provided a warm oasis of activities and craft stalls. Dari 12:30 kepada 4:30 there was a packed programme of music and Christmas cheer galore on the main stage area in the Market Square. Rusa Real telah kembali pada tahun ini di sekitar Dataran Pasar dan The Splashpals Newfoundland mengadakan lawatan petang untuk Market Street dengan Krismas Carriages mereka. 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, bandar tidak boleh menjadi lebih perayaan. 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.
