The community gathered outside the Longtower Chapel at 8.30pm before making a lantern-lit journey of light towards the Brandywell as part of the Derry Féile festival.
The procession saw local groups, sports teams, organisations and residents carrying lanterns, candles, and symbols.
Along the way, participants were invited to reflect on the history of the area, honour the contributions of its many talented figures, finishing with music at the Grotto on Lecky Road.
