The colonnade was re-launched on Friday, March 20 following a programme of restoration work supported by the UK Government Shared Prosperity Fund and the Welsh Government Brilliant Basics Fund.
The concrete art deco structure, a 170-metre covered walkway leading to Happy Valley on the Great Orme headland, has been a prominent feature of the Llandudno promenade since the 1930s.
Restoration works have focused on preserving its historic character, improving safety, and ensuring the structure can continue to be enjoyed by residents and visitors for many years.
A ribbon-cutting ceremony was held to mark the occasion on Friday, with performances from Llandudno Swing Band and Linzi Grace School of Dance.
There were also artwork demonstrations from David Sharp, as well as children’s activities, garden games, and stalls and displays including Bangor University’s Seafood Trail Cymru, the Wales Coast Path, the Homefront Museum, a 1930s motorbike display, and Llandudno Museum.
Cllr Sharon Doleman, Cabinet Member for Sustainable Economy and Communications, said: “The Colonnade is an important part of Llandudno’s heritage and identity, and I’m delighted to see it restored to its former elegance. These improvements ensure that this treasured landmark can be enjoyed for many years to come, and I’m thrilled that we’re able to celebrate with the local community.

“My thanks go to the performers, volunteers, partners, and attendees who supported the celebration, and everyone who contributed to the success of the project.”
The council worked with Mostyn Estates on the project to maintain the integrity of the original design.
Visitors were also able to view a selection of historic photographs of the Colonnade through the decades at the event.
In addition to the work completed so far, interpretation panels and seating are due to be installed at a later date.
Funding is also being sought to replace lighting columns on the upper deck, and an application for Listed Building Consent is currently going through the planning process.
Cllr Mike Priestley, deputy leader of Conwy Council, said: "This project is about protecting what makes Llandudno special.
“We turned a structure at risk into something the town can be proud of."
