The annual Lismore Lantern Parade sees more than 25 000 people line the streets to see illuminated creatures pass by. This event is held in June on the Saturday which is closest to the winter solstice. Easter festivals are also held in Lismore as are celebrations of the Queen’s birthday in June.

The winter months of June to August are the coldest time of the year, with July being the coldest month in the city. Since the winter months are the off-peak season in the city, the hotel rates and airfares are generally slightly cheaper at this time. The high rainfall and humidity in summer deters some visitors, so certain months during summer may yield special deals.
