Lismore's community cultural festival with an Italian twist - LisAmore! - has been postponed for the second time.

Due to go ahead in April this year - and originally in August last year - the 2022 festival will now take place sometime later this year.

Festival organiser Ros Derrett said the decision postpone the festival was in response to the circumstances facing regional residents and visitors.

"We are preparing to reschedule our popular celebration of all things Italian till later in the year," Ros said.

"We are determined to regroup with our faithful patrons, outstanding entertainers, stallholders of authentic Italian fare, steadfast partners, loyal suppliers and investors.

"Like many who make a contribution to the city’s rich cultural life, we expect to return revitalised and ready to share the good times with pizazz, good humour and inclusivity. 

"We hope to enjoy your company when we have finalised the location and date.

"While our festival may be pushed back, we look forward to welcoming your involvement with renewed vim and vigour for the Italian flavoured revelry we plan to share with you."
