The celebration of Vaisakhi, the birth of Sikhism, is held as a Nagar Kirtan (procession with religious hymns) traditionally from one Gurdwara (Sikh Temple) to every other Gurdwara along the way to a central point of the city - which in this case is Millenium Square, Leeds. The turn out for this event was in the thousands, with almost every Sikh family in Leeds turning up and joining in the walk.
This pic shows a group of young Sikhs singing religious hymns (Kirtan) just outside of Civic Hall.

Happy Vaisakhi people!
