| [FoxNews] President Joe Biden’s inauguration in Jan. 2021 may have been scaled back due to COVID-19, but Washington, D.C., is now preparing to welcome a tremendous influx of visitors for the monumental event this year for President-elect Donald Trump. Elliott Ferguson, II, Destination DC president and CEO, told Fox News Digital, "The public hasn’t been able to participate in the inauguration since 2017, so we expect significant interest." Typically, first-term presidents have larger inaugurations, according to Destination DC’s data partners. Travelers should check the weather prior to their trip, ensuring proper clothes are packed. "We have had a snowy start to 2025 and the temperatures have been below normal …Travelers should anticipate freezing temperatures and the potential for snow," she said. The inauguration takes place on Jan. 20 on the West Lawn of the U.S. Capitol. The parade will begin at approximately 2:30 p.m. on Inauguration Day, lasting 60 to 90 minutes, according to Destination DC’s website. The public viewing areas for the parade start at 3rd Street, extending to Pennsylvania Avenue near the Canadian Embassy. |
