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 Disyembre. Biggin Street sa Market Square ay buhay sa kuwadra, entertainment at holiday magsaya. Ang umiiral na mga hangin ay hindi masansala mga tao mula sa pagdating sa labas at sa pagsali sa mga pagdiriwang. The indoor market in the former Claire Accessories provided a warm oasis of activities and craft stalls. Sa 12:30 sa 4:30 there was a packed programme of music and Christmas cheer galore on the main stage area in the Market Square. Ang Real reindeer ay bumalik sa taong ito sa Market Square paligid at Ang Newfoundland Splashpals binabayaran ng isang hapon pagbisita sa Market Street sa kanilang Christmas Carriages. 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, ang bayan ay hindi maaaring naging mas maligaya. 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.
