Inauguration Day Guide
Witnessing history and getting around the city.
The official proceedings of Inauguration Day typically commence around noon on January 20, 2025 at the U.S. Capitol. Due to inclement weather, this year the swearing-in ceremony will occur inside the U.S. Capitol at the Rotunda with Vice President-Elect J.D. Vance and President-Elect Donald Trump taking the Oaths of Office, followed by an inaugural address.
