The usually popular community event, which aims to bring together traders, churches and the community, is due to take place from 2-4pm around Bitterne Park Triangle.
“Join us for an afternoon of local, Christmas cheer - there will be something for all the family; Father Christmas, Carol singing, children's crafts, raffle, craft stalls, food and drink from our local cafes and goods from our local businesses,” said one of the organisers.
The main raffle is in support for both yellow door, a local charity helping victims of domestic abuse, and Clear, a Southampton charity helping refugees & asylum seekers.
Tickets are 25p each, and prizes can be viewed at Hair@20.
The draw is down to take place at 3.50 pm.
