The vigil was being held for tragic pair Reiss Jarvis and Karl Young, who died when a vehicle they were travelling in came off a carriageway and hit a tree on November 10.
Friends and family were meeting to remember Reiss, aged 21, and Karl, 34, who both worked in Oldham town centre.
Reiss had previously worked as an actor and starred in a drama broadcast on the BBC.

A Mazda 3 was driving along the road before it came off the carriageway and hit a tree, police said.
