The Epoch Times Header

In addition to the swearing-in ceremony on Monday, Trump’s second inauguration will feature four days of festivities and musical performances.

Four days of celebrations surrounding President-elect Donald Trump’s second inauguration start on Jan. 18. They begin with a reception and fireworks at Trump National Golf Club in Sterling, Virginia, on Saturday and end with the National Prayer Service on Tuesday.

Both Trump and Vice President-elect JD Vance will be sworn in at 12 p.m. ET on Monday, with three former presidents—Barack Obama, George W. Bush, and Bill Clinton—expected to attend.

While the event is traditionally held outside on the Capitol steps, it has been moved indoors due to freezing temperatures. According to forecasts, the inauguration is set to be the coldest in 40 years.

Aside from fireworks, the four days of festivities will include multiple dinners honoring Trump, Vance, and the president-elect’s Cabinet nominees, a political rally, the inaugural parade, and three inaugural balls.

Here’s what to know about the days surrounding Trump’s inauguration.

Four-Day Schedule

After the fireworks display at Trump’s club in Virginia, there will be a reception for Cabinet nominees and a dinner hosted by Vance on Saturday evening.

On Sunday, Trump will lay a wreath at the Tomb of the Unknown Soldier at Arlington National Cemetery. Later, the “Make America Great Again” victory rally will be held at DC’s Capitol One Arena, home of the Washington Capitals and Washington Wizards. and the president-elect will host a candlelight dinner to close out the day’s events.

Inauguration Day begins with a service at St. John’s Church in Lafayette Square, followed by the Trumps joining the Bidens for tea at the White House.

Trump will take the oath of office inside the U.S. Capitol Rotunda at noon before saying goodbye to President Joe Biden and Vice President Kamala Harris.

Trump will then hold a signing ceremony near the Senate chamber to sign formal nominations for his Cabinet selections.

The Joint Congressional Committee on Inaugural Ceremonies will host a lunch before the inaugural parade. The parade will also be moved inside to Washington’s Capitol One Arena and Trump will make an appearance at the venue.

Trump will then travel to the White House, where he will likely host a ceremony to issue a batch of executive actions. Afterward, Trump will attend and address the three inaugural balls—the Liberty Inaugural Ball, the Commander-in-Chief’s Ball, and the Starlight Ball.

The inauguration celebrations conclude with the National Prayer Service on Tuesday.
