Unfortunately, the mostly dry conditions we experienced this week will end over the weekend as the Bureau of Meteorology forecasts more showers.

There is a chance of no rain; however, with a 60% probability, that is unlikely. The range is 0-5mm on Saturday, followed by 0-7mm on Sunday.

The likelihood of rain increases as the week progresses from Tuesday.

For those interested in trivia, today is the Autumn Equinox, where there is an equal amount of day and night (12/12).

It is a busy weekend in Lismore, with quite a few different events to attend.

The Lismore Farmers Market swings into action tomorrow morning at 7:30. It will have the usual fun atmosphere, fresh homegrown fruit and veg, coffee/tea, breakfast, flowers, and seedlings.

The Nimbin Markets are on Sunday on Cullen Street from 9am to about 3pm. Check out plenty of stalls with multicultural food, unique artisan products, and recycled inventions that only Nimin can provide.

While you are in Nimbin, check out the newly opened Nimbin Rainbow Walk. The 760 m walk has four entry points and features beautiful artwork, sculptures, and a gazebo along the route.

There are two art exhibitions over the weekend.

The first is Her-Art Works at the Serpentine Gallery (104 Conway Street) between 10am and 2pm. Here you can explore the vast and multifaceted nature of woman.

The second is ARTEXPRESS 2025 at the Lismore Regional Gallery. This outstanding body of work was submitted for the 2024 NSW HSC examination for Visual Arts.

If you like a bit of country dancing, then the Lismore City Bowling Club is the place to be on Saturday when Boot Scootin at the Bowlo takes place.

The Lismore Rotary Club of Lismore Networking is hosting the event to raise money for children in emergency foster care. The cost is $50, which includes food, a raffle, a DJ, Line Dancing demonstrations, and prizes.

Speaking of the Bowlo, the final 'All In The Same Boat' Barefoot Bowls Challenge will take place this Wednesday evening from 5:30pm. Barefoot Bowls No. 3 was due to occur on March 5, but Tropical Cyclone Alfred took care of that.

Get a group of four together, whether it's business or friends, and head to the Lismore City Bowling Club on Wednesday, March 26. The cost is only $20 per team for a fun night. Call Sharon on 0416 282 247 to book.

Live music has returned to the Northern Rivers Hotel after Alfred cancelled the last two weeks.

Tonight, Western Sound Sessions is playing until 9:30pm, Saturday night from 7pm it's Hot Dog, and the Sunday Session is Ghostown between 3pm and 6pm.

The next concert at the Lismore Workers Club is Tommy Memphis on Saturday, May 17. This is a FREE event; however, bookings are required; click here.

You can also book for 'Who's Bad', the ultimate Michael Jackson tribute for Friday, May 30.
