Inauguration Schedule of Events

The inauguration of Donald Trump as America's 45th president is the highlight of several days of pomp and circumstance in the US capital. Here's a look at the timeline of events.

Thursday, January 19

10:35 am - Performances begin at Lincoln Memorial. "Voices of the People," the first act of a day-long public concert, will feature groups such as the DC Fire Department Emerald Society Pipes and Drums, the Republican Hindu Coalition, high school marching bands, choirs and baton twirlers.

3:30 pm to 4 pm - Trump and Vice President-elect Mike Pence participate in a wreath-laying ceremony at Arlington National Cemetery in honor of the nation's veterans.

4 pm to 6 pm - Trump will deliver remarks during the second act of the concert at Lincoln Memorial, dubbed the "Make America Great Again! Welcome Celebration." The event, broadcast live nationally, will be headlined by country stars Toby Keith and Lee Greenwood and feature a fireworks finale. Trump is expected to spend Thursday night at Blair House, the presidential guest residence across the street from the White House.

Friday, January 20

Morning - Trump, Pence and their families are expected to attend services at St. John's Episcopal Church, just steps from the White House.

Afterward, President Barack Obama and First Lady Michelle Obama welcome Trump and his wife Melania to the White House for morning tea. The two couples will then travel together to the Capitol by motorcade.

9:30 am - Inauguration ceremony begins on the west front of the Capitol with musical performances.

Attendees will include members of Congress, Supreme Court justices, diplomats and the public. Former presidents Jimmy Carter, George W. Bush and Bill Clinton will attend, as will Trump's election opponent Hillary Clinton. Former president George H.W. Bush is in frail health and will not be present.

Sixteen-year-old soprano Jackie Evancho will sing the national anthem. The Rockettes dance troupe will also be performing, at a time yet to be announced.

11:30 am - Opening remarks. Religious leaders will offer the invocation and readings. Pence will be sworn in by Supreme Court Justice Clarence Thomas.

Noon - Trump will recite the oath of office, administered by US Supreme Court Chief Justice John Roberts. He will use president Abraham Lincoln's inauguration Bible, as well as the Bible that Trump's mother gave to him at his Sunday school graduation in 1955. Afterward, Trump will deliver his inaugural address.

12:30 Ceremony ends.

Afterward, in keeping with tradition, Trump and Pence will attend the Congressional Lunch in the Capitol.

3 pm to 5 pm - Inaugural parade. The newly minted president and vice-president make their way 1.5 miles (2.4 kilometers) along Pennsylvania Avenue from the Capitol to the White House, trailed by some 8,000 parade participants. They will include members of all US military branches, as well as high school and university marching bands, equestrian corps, first responders, veteran groups and even a tractor brigade.

7 pm to 11 pm - Trump, Pence and their wives will make appearances at three official inaugural balls, two of which will be held at the Walter E. Washington Convention Center and the other at the National Building Museum. A number of semi-official and unofficial balls also will take place throughout the city.

My nightmare begins on election night 2008. It ends today! In hindsight, I believe Mccain would have been more harmful.

I agree about McCain. We were somewhat lucky. Obama was a slacker. The best part no Hildebeast!

Morning all.....a new era begins......

the Paradigm is set on permanent shift.

and the old order is consigned to the dustbin of history.

[JudyinCanada]

Good Morning All!

Where is everyone? I feel like a kid on Christmas morning, but everyone’s sleeping in!

I thought lysie would have a big spread out for us, but she may still be working on things.

The nightmare is almost over, and America survived (barely). Now, time to recover!

[who knows what evil?]

I will relax just a bit at 12:01 p.m. Not until then.

[defconw]

I’m here!

Pardon me Dolly, if someone else already mentioned this. But the map at the beginning of the thread, at the right hand side, mentions *Obama* taking the oath of office...

I'm like, WTH?

[Baldwin77]

Wow. What a great memory for you and your son ! It must have been amazing.

[Baldwin77]

I agree. The grandkids, who are younger than Barron, were there and well behaved.

[Spirit of Liberty]

I’m awake, too! May end up having a nap before noon though. LOL

Was reading on DU that the White House was in the rainbow colors for Obama’s last night. UGH. Haven’t found an actual picture to confirm, though.

I hope Trump has it lit in red, white, and blue tonight!

Good morning fellow FReepers! Looking forward to a day full of great postings from our FRiends attending the events today!

Thank You, LORD!

I didn’t notice the “Patton” thing. Guess I was focused on Trump. It makes sense, though, as he admires Patton so much.

Good morning all! Have to drive the oldest to high school and then take the younger to get some allergy tests at 8 but then will be back and glued to the TV.

So excited for today!!

Knarf just posted this on another thread and it's excellent !

Not a big fan of Toby Keith’s music. I admire him, I like his lyrics, I’m glad he got the crowd rockin’ out, and that he showed up. I love country music, but Keith’s singing is too nasal for me — but that’s a personal thing.

Overall, the concert was very good. I think it was one of the commentators on Fox who said he’d never seen anything like it for an inauguration. Wonderful!!

The elderly veteran with the red hat was so precious, and the close-ups of him had me crying.
