A funfair will be found in Gentleman’s Walk and the market will remain open for visitors to browse until 8pm.
Councillor Mike Stonard, leader of Norwich City Council, said: “This year’s Festive Lights Switch-on is a wonderful opportunity for residents and visitors alike to come and join together as a community, have a fun evening out and support some of our city centre businesses which will be open on the night.
"The council is proud to continue to provide this free family event for everyone, especially at a time when many are feeling the pinch.”
