As the countdown to Christmas gets closer, here are some of the excellent lights switch-ons left for the Towns.
Medway Council teamed up with KMFM to began its festive switch ons last Friday in High Street, Strood, with the mayor and Cocomelon star JJ.
It was shortly followed by the following day by Snow White in Military Road, Chatham.
Now, with only three left, here's your reminder to fill the streets and watch the bright lights fill the dark skies as we get closer to Christmas.
Tomorrow, mayor Cllr Jan Aldous will be joined by kid's favourite Bluey and Bingo at Smith Square in Gillingam high street from 3.45pm, with the lights going on at 5pm.
On Saturday, Snow White makes a return alongside KMFM presenters Garry and Chelsea, Andy Walker and Rob Wills for the festive switch-on in Rochester high street.
It will be at the junction with Blue Boar Lane, with entertainment starting at 3.45pm and the lights being turned on at 5pm.
The final event at Rainham precinct will take place on Friday, December 2, with Paddington making a surprise appearance.
Entertainment will start at 3.45pm and lights will be turned on from 5pm.
Last week saw multiple towns across Kent turning on their lights - including Maidstone, Dartford and Gravesend.
KMFM are encouraging residents to bring their family along to the event and meet some of your favourite TV characters with festive fun, live music, dancers and competitions on display.
The Christmas light switch-ons are with Medway Council and Specsavers, Medway stores.
