Activists said Saudi-backed regime forces fired tear gas and stun grenades to disperse the protesters near the Pearl Square site in Manama on Thursday, AP reported.
No injuries were immediately reported during the demonstration.
The demonstrators also demanded that all protesters, opposition leaders and activists detained during the deadly crackdown, be released.
On Wednesday similar protest rallies were held in the towns of Al Musalla, Tubli and Sanabi after the king delivered a speech.
During his speech, the monarch pledged to investigate allegations of human rights violations during the protests.
Anti-regime protesters have been holding peaceful demonstrations across Bahrain since mid-February, calling for an end to the Al Khalifa dynasty's rule.
In March, Saudi Arabia and the United Arab Emirates deployed military forces to Bahrain to help the government crush the nationwide protests.
