In total 30,000 people took to the streets, making it the biggest yet in the event's nine-year history.
One of the organisers Parmjit Singh Dhillon, coordinator of the Council of Sikh Gurdwaras in Sandwell, added: "It's been a great event, despite a bit of rain it hasn't been that cold and everyone has enjoyed themselves.
"It really brings the community together.
"It's great to see so many people taking part in such an important day"
Volunteers cleaned the streets around the procession and food and drink were handed out along the way, with people of all ages and backgrounds taking part.
The route took people from High Street in West Bromwich, through Oldbury and to High Street in Smethwick.
The procession costs around £30,000 to organise and involves the cooperation of West Midlands Police and Sandwell Council.
