The festive fun begins on Thursday November 16 with three hours of entertainment from 4pm.
It will also see the opening of the much-loved Christmas market, running until January 2.
Events, live music and activities will take place across the city centre - from Oxford Street to Guildhall Square - all weekend with plenty to do for families.
Some of the city’s attractions and businesses will also be hosting activities, including God’s House Tower and SeaCity Museum.
Stephen Manion, Executive Director at GO! Southampton said: “We’re hoping that by doing four days of events it means everyone will get the chance to get involved in some festive fun.”
