Summer is a great time to get outdoors and enjoy what Lismore has to offer in the way of markets. There are currently three markets in the revitalised City Centre, they include: the Lismore Farmers鈥� market which takes place in Magellan Street every Thursday from 4.30pm onwards.
The Twilight Market is held on the fourth Saturday evening of every calendar month and features vintage and retro fashion, handcrafted clothing and free entertainment. The Twilight Market is located on the northern side of Magellan St in between Carrington and Molesworth streets.
The Con Artists market; which is held every first Saturday in the month from 11am onwards in the grounds of the Northern Rivers Conservatorium in Keen Street聽 in conjunction with the monthly free Cushion Concerts. Each of these markets is viewed as an attraction to help draw people back to the City Centre either after hours or on weekends the core recommendation of the 鈥楲ismore Alive鈥� Final Report, which the Lismore City Council Promotion Program is largely based on.
And a reminder that prejudice does not take a holiday over the summer season so keep an eye out, stay safe and look after your mates. For safety tips please contact ACON鈥檚 Anti 鈥� Violence Project on 9206 2116 or Free Call: 1800 063 060 or visit
