Singer-songwriter Carolynne reached the live shows stage of this year's X Factor competition. She was the first act to leave the show after a controversial "deadlock" situation.
A selection of street acts will perform in and around St Peter's Street to entertain shoppers from 2pm to 4pm.
The main entertainment begins at 3.30pm, with the Capital FM roadshow hosted by Breakfast Show presenters Dino and Pete featuring performances from local artists. These will include Christmas carols from local choir Sing For Your Supper and a performance by musicians from Virtulight, part of Derby's Festival of Light celebrations.
The lights will be turned on at around 6pm by a selection of performers involved in the event and they will be joined by the Mayor of Derby, Councillor Lisa Higginbottom.
