On 29th August 1867 John Hulley and others responded to the request of the Llandudno townsfolk by organising another Grand Carnival. During the day, as the programme has it, "in order to restore a light on the evening’s amusements, a bazaar for the sale of Chinese lanterns was extemporised on the parade." At a little after 8 p.m., a grand procession of boats, illuminated all over - rigging them astern - with lanterns and coloured fire, was started from the landings steps.
