It has been a week of wild, unpredictable weather for Lismore and the Northern Rivers, and that ride is expected to continue early next week, with more thunderstorms on the radar.

Before we worry about what may occur next week, the weekend is looking good, with only a 40% chance of rain tomorrow and 20% for Sunday.

Temperatures will be in the mid-20s after some warm minimums around 16/17 degrees.

It is a fairly quiet weekend event-wise.

Aquarius: the film about Dreamers, Tree Huggers and Radical Ratbags is showing at the Nimbin Bush Theatre this Sunday at 2pm.

The movie takes a look at the iconic festival that made Nimbin what it is today. There will be a Q&A after the screening.

The Lismore Farmers Markets fire up tomorrow morning from 7:30 at the Lismore Showgrounds.

Christmas gifts are making an appearance, as are cakes, condiments and meat, on top of the usual fresh fruit and vegetables. Tapestry Road will be performing live until 11am.

The other market on over the weekend is the Lismore Free Market on Sunday between 9am and 11am at the Lismore Community Garden, 50 Brewster Street.

The Free Market is a gathering of people who want to give away goods and services for free. There is no money, bartering or trading.

The live music scene over the weekend includes the Northern Rivers Hotel in North Lismore. They have Hello Ray Duo tonight from 7pm, Katie Brooke tomorrow from 6:30pm and the Sunday session is Ghostown between 2pm and 5pm.

It is a big night of music at the Lismore Workers Club with Marina Prior and Michael Cormick 'Centrestage' from 7:30pm. You can still book tickets here.

Next Friday, The Italian Tenors hit the main auditorium stage with The Classics, and then in February, the lineup includes Forever Olivia - A Tribute to Olivia Newton-John and Reputation - The Ultimate Taylor Swift Tribute Show. Check out the 2025 lineup here.
