Simon Rowe from Radio West Norfolk will be playing Christmas hits and games in Tuesday Market Place and, after the switch-on, there will be more festive classics from Bear Club.
A lantern parade will wander through town from 4.15pm where anyone with tambourines, triangles or other percussion instruments is invited to join the parade.
Councillor Simon Ring, cabinet member for tourism, said: "It's beginning to look a lot like Christmas, the most wonderful time of the year, with kids lantern making and carol singing along with gathering in town for the big switch on."

"Come and make a lantern, join the parade and be part of a King's Lynn Christmas."
Last year's event saw more than 200 Ukrainian refugees take part in the switch-on, with Ukrainian carols being sung as part of the procession.
