The daily parade of participating vehicles (including many steam tractors and wagons),
brass bands, and carnival troops, and also visitors and citizens in Victorian or Edwardian costume.
 The parade travels through the town streets and via the promenade where it disperses.

The Llandudno Victorian Extravaganza is closely associated with a display of many types of veteran and vintage vehicles in the Festival of Transport held simultaneously at the showground site at Bodafon Farm Park near the Little Orme and a bus service provided by vintage buses and coaches operates between the Showground and Vaughan Street Llandudno. 

Other features are the evening ‘Road Runs’ when suitable vehicles on Saturday ascend the Great Orme to the Summit and on Sunday run the circuit of the Marine Drive.
