The forecast is for another dry weekend, but with less sunshine than we have had this week.

There is a 50% chance of rain late Saturday afternoon/evening with up to 1mm the forecast, so it shouldn't affect anyone's plans. Sunday is similar, with a 30% chance of rain and a partly cloudy. 19 degrees is the expected maximum temperature with 5 or 6 degrees to start the day.

LisAmore! is the big event on the weekend.

LisAmore! is a celebration of the Italian community in our region and the contribution they have made since the 1880s. It will be on full display on Sunday at the Lismore Turf Club between 10am and 3pm with Italian food, wine, music, dancing, cars, motorbikes and more.

It is $3 to park your car (to cover costs) and feel free to take your own picnic set and water bottle. There is a kids activity area, an egg and spoon race and the traditional tug-of-war.

Before Sunday, don't forget the Lismore Farmers Markets are at the Lismore Showgrounds from 7:30 tomorrow (Saturday) until 11:30am.

The CWA ladies will be back raising money through their handmade items. Dog blankets, bandanas and treats for your furry family member are on offer. Tapestry Road will provide the music plus there will be a dance performance by We Will Thrive Lismore at 10am, which you are welcome to participate in.

Tomorrow is a week until the 2024 Lismore Lantern Parade takes to the streets of the CBD. Make sure that it is added to your calendar.
