Heavy and consistent rainfall throughout March and into April has left large sections of Wylie Breckenridge Park saturated and muddy under foot, while some rain is forecast on both Saturday and Sunday.
"It has been a very hard season for our stall holders with many market cancellations and it has also been very disappointing for our committee and all those who love the bazaar," committee member, Alana Parkins said.
However, all is not lost for the hundreds of locals and visitors who enjoy a day out at one of the most popular and successful markets along the Mid North Coast.

Instead on Sunday, May 2 the committee has organised a small 'winter market' at the western end of the park, near the shops and tennis courts.
"It is dry and a very pretty part of the park."
Coffee and food, produce, plants, some art and craft stalls, especially for Mothers Day on the following Sunday, May 9, will be for sale.
"We hope we have lots of visitors to make this successful."
The committee plan to continue the 'winter market' throughout the colder months until the market return for its regular spring-summer outing in September.
"For now there will only be street parking as the park is too wet for vehicles."
