It looks as though we are in store for another wet weekend in Lismore and the Northern Rivers as the weather system from the south creates a high chance of showers.

0 to 5mm is forecast for Saturday and 2 to 10mm on Sunday so there is the chance of some sun poking through the clouds throughout the two days.

It is a similar forecast for most of next week as well.

The potential for rain does mean that some planned events may be in doubt.

The Boatharbour Field Day was set for tomorrow (Saturday) and has been postponed to a date to be determined and tomorrow's Trinity Catholic College Race Day at the Lismore Turf Club has been cancelled.

The Lismore Farmers Markets run rain, hail or shine on Saturday mornings (7:30am to 11:30am) at the Lismore Showgrounds. With Mother's Day coming up you can find a unique gift, or buy some fresh sourdough bread, as well as fresh fruit and veg, hot breakfast, coffee/tea/juice and live music from Tapestry Road.

The rain won't bother Nimbin Mardigrass goers over the weekend either. The annual event officially opens this afternoon with a full two-day schedule in place, which you can check out here. Look out for the Kombi Konvoy as it makes its way through Lismore to Nimbin tomorrow.

Theatre lovers should check out Lexie Turns To Stone at the Rochdale Theatre in Goonellabah.

Opening night is tonight at 7:30pm followed by five further performances on Saturday, May 4 (7:30pm), Sunday, May 5 (2pm), Friday, May 10 (7:30pm), Saturday, May 11 (7:30pm) and Sunday, May 12 at 2pm.

Tickets are $20-$25 and can be booked here.

The annual Byron Coastal Charity Walk is tomorrow (Saturday). Participants will choose from three distances starting from Dening Park at Byron Bay: 12km from Byron Bay to Broken Head commencing at 8:30am, 24km from Byron Bay to Lennox Head commencing at 7:30am and 36km from Byron Bay to Ballina commencing at 6:30am.

This is a major fundraiser for the Westpac Rescue Helicopter with participants choosing to walk or run at their own pace. The event is fully supported with snacks, marshals on track, medical assistance and entertainment.

The Australian Breastfeeding Association Lismore Group will celebrate its 60th birthday tomorrow at Wade Park, East Lismore between 10am and 1pm. If you have breastfed in the past 60 years, you are welcome to attend!

 Check out what other events are in May:

• Gemfest May 18 & 19
• Casino Beef Week May 18 to 25
• Primex May 16 to 18

Round 5 of the NRRRL season kicks off at 2:45 on Sunday afternoon. Northern United will look to get back to winning ways after last week's defeat to Byron Bay when they take on Evans Head at Crozier Field while the Marist Brothers Rams hit the road for the trip to Tweed Heads.

It is Round 4 for Football Far North Coast after last week's bye. Richmond Rovers travel south to Maclean for tonight's game while Saturday's matches include Bangalow v Ballina, Mullumbimby v Goonellabah and South Lismore v Alstonville. Sunday sees Byron Bay at home to Lennox Head.

In the Women's Premier League, it is Lennox Head v Alstonville, Richmond Rovers v Byron Bay and Bangalow v Ballina with all matches on Sunday.
