Last year the parade was limited to a few hundred participants.
This year, thousands of people made their way into Londonderry's city centre for the parade, More than 135 bands took part in proceedings.
The events mark the anniversary of the ending of the Siege of Derry in August 1689.
In the day's first parade Apprentice Boys, along with nine bands, made their way along the city's historic walls.
After a wreath-laying ceremony at the War Memorial in the Diamond, a church service was held at St Columb's Cathedral.
The main events of the day were a Relief of Derry pageant before the main parade around the city, starting at the Craigavon Bridge.
A cannon on Derry's Walls was fired four times at midnight on Friday to signal the start of this weekend's proceedings.
Graeme Stenhouse, the governor of the Apprentice Boys, said it was "very important to get people back together again" for the event this year.
"One thing that we've missed over the last few years is the fraternity, the friendships and you can see the joy that it's bringing the Maiden City today."
He said the week-long Maiden City Festival, which preceded Saturday's parade, was "one of the best we've ever had".
