The switch will be flicked on Thursday, November 22.
It will be celebrated with family entertainment and music, including a guest appearance by classical pop quartet Ti Amero.
The group will sing traditional carols.
Father Christmas will also be taking part and children can get involved in workshops at Holy Trinity Church.
From 3pm to 6.30pm, youngsters can decorate Christmas baubles and join in other activities. A Christmas parade will leave the church at 6pm and march to Queen Victoria Square.
Children and their parents can join the parade as it travels through the Old Town, led by the City of Hull Pipe Band.
The event marks the start of Christmas festivities in the city, as well as the start of late-night shopping.
The Central Library will be running a free Christmas craft fair from 3pm to 8pm.
