Donald Trump’s Inauguration Day Schedule: What to Expect

As Donald Trump prepares for his return to the White House, a detailed schedule of inaugural events has been released for the upcoming days.

Inaugural festivities begin with a rally on Sunday evening, leading into the official ceremonies on Monday. Trump’s events will showcase a blend of traditional rituals and contemporary celebrations.

On Sunday, the president-elect will lay a wreath at the Tomb of the Unknown Soldier in Arlington National Cemetery. Later that evening, a “MAGA Victory” rally at Capital One Arena will feature an array of performances, including Kid Rock and Billy Ray Cyrus, drawing supporters and honoring the resilience of his movement amidst past violence.

High-profile speakers such as Elon Musk, Hulk Hogan, and Megyn Kelly will take the stage. The rally not only serves as a campaign-style event but also as a moment of solidarity among attendees.

Monday’s schedule begins with a traditional service at St. John’s Episcopal Church, where Trump will seek blessings before moving on to the White House. A key event is the tea between Trump and the Bidens, symbolizing a peaceful transfer of power.

The swearing-in ceremony will be held indoors due to inclement weather, featuring notable performances and speeches. Highlights include the invocation by Cardinal Dolan and a rendition of “America the Beautiful” by Carrie Underwood. Trump’s inaugural address will outline his vision for the coming term.

As Biden and Harris bid farewell from the Capitol, Trump will move to the President’s Room to sign key documents. Following this, a luncheon at Statuary Hall will provide an opportunity for legislators to gather with the new leadership.

Weather permitting, Trump’s parade will conclude at the Capitol One Arena, allowing for a festive atmosphere. The inaugural balls later in the evening will feature various musical acts, from Rascal Flatts to Nelly, catering to military members and Trump’s dedicated supporters alike.

The festivities continue on Tuesday with a national prayer service at the Washington National Cathedral, reaffirming the connection between governance and faith as Trump embarks on his second term.
