LLANDUDNO
EXTRAVAGANZA 2002
The Llandudno Victorian
Extravaganza, the annual three-day Carnival in the Spring (usually the
first weekend in May) is organised in conjunction with the Llandudno Heritage Trust. The event is closely
associated with a display of many types of veteran and vintage vehicles
in a Festival of
Transport held
simultaneously at the showground site at Bodafon Farm Park near the
Little Orme. There is a daily parade of participating vehicles
(including many steam tractors and wagons), brass bands, and carnival
troops.
But it is the great Victorian steam fair
in Mostyn Street (the length and breadth of the main shopping street)
with its multitude of rides and catch-penny booths, both ancient and
modern, which attracts visitors in their thousands for a great sea-side
week-end for all the family at the start of each summer season – and
its great fun for the residents too!
