Fifty people were killed in the shootings.
Three secondary school students organised the event, with one telling Newshub they asked people to wear bright clothes to the march.
"It's a really important part of the event that people wear bright colours - it symbolises hope, it symbolises the optimism we have for the future," 16-year-old Marshall Setu said.
