19.8mm has fallen at the Lismore Airport over the past three days, and the forecast is for a wet weekend from the Bureau of Meteorology.

Saturday looks to be the wettest, with showers and a possible storm the prediction. Once again, there is a broad rainfall estimate with 4-35mm to fall. The recipients of the storm will receive the most rain. A little like this morning when the CBD was relatively dry compared to the build of water on the roads in Goonellabah.

Sunday is slightly better, with 2-25mm forecast and the chance of a thunderstorm again.

It has been another fairly quiet weekend around Lismore, with a lot of people still away on holidays.

Markets lead the charge for what to do this weekend.

The Lismore Farmers Markets get underway at 7:30am at the Lismore Showgrounds tomorrow, and as they say, rain, hail or shine! Fresh fruit and veg, coffee/tea and breakfast plus live music from Mish Songsmith is on offer until 11:30am.

The Sunday market this week is in the Lismore hinterland at Coronation Park at The Channon between 9am and 3pm, although they do have drumming until dusk.

There are over 200 artisan stalls selling local arts and crafts, such as soaps, coffee mugs and wooden products. This month's charity is The Channon Rural Fire Service, so your presence at the markets does make a difference.

While up in the hills, check out the bush walks and make a day of it Walks.

In Lismore, there is the rail trail to ride if you don't mind potentially getting a bit wet, or you can take the kids rollerskating at Rollerworld in North Lismore.

Coming up in February:

• Legends of Cricket - Saturday, February 15 at Oakes Oval and
• Country Championships at the Lismore Turf Club featuring Lismore richest race on Saturday, February 22.

Hannah Pearl and Dan Grace will be performing at the Northern Rivers Hotel if you love live music.

Hannah kicks off the weekend at 6:30 tonight, with Dan hitting the stage at 7pm tomorrow.

The Lismore Workers Club live entertainment kicks off for 2025 with Forever Olivia - A Tribute to Olivia Newton-John on Saturday, February 15, Reputation - the Ultimate Taylor Swift Tribute Show on Friday, February 21 and the Fab Four - The Ultimate Beatles Tribute Show on Friday, March 7.

Check out all the live music in 2025 at the Lismore Workers Club website.
