From inaugural balls to the presidential parade: Here is the schedule for Donald Trump's inauguration events

President-elect Donald Trump will be sworn in as the 47th President of the United States on Jan. 20. Although the swearing-in ceremony takes place at 12 p.m. ET that Monday, events for the 60th Presidential Inauguration will begin two days earlier and continue well after the inauguration ceremony at the U.S. Capitol. Over the course of four days—starting on Jan. 18—events will include a rally, fireworks display, the Presidential Parade, three inaugural balls and more.

“President Trump is dedicated to uniting the country through the strength, security, and opportunity of his America First agenda,” Steve Witkoff and Kelly Loeffler, co-chairs of the Trump Vance Inaugural Committee, Inc., said in a statement. “The 2025 inaugural celebrations will reflect President-elect Trump’s historic return to the White House and the American people’s decisive vote to Make America Great Again.”
