Live updates: Trump inauguration weekend commences as protesters rally in Washington
by The Hill Staff - 01/18/25 9:00 AM ET
Inauguration festivities will begin in full force Saturday as President-elect Trump and his allies — and protesters — arrive in Washington ahead of Monday’s inauguration of the 47th president of the U.S.
Trump is expected to arrive at Joint Base Andrews in Maryland, and he will later host a reception and fireworks display at his Virginia golf course. There will also be a Cabinet reception and dinner for Vice President-elect Vance at the National Gallery of Art on Saturday evening.
The D.C. People’s March, organized by several activist groups, is also slated to kick off Saturday morning across the city. It will culminate in a rally outside the Lincoln Memorial at 3 p.m., and about 50,000 people are expected to attend.
On Sunday, Trump will host a rally at Capital One Arena in downtown Washington, where allies such as tech billionaire Elon Musk are expected to deliver remarks. The Village People, Kid Rock and Billy Ray Cyrus are also set to perform.
Although Saturday is expected to be balmy, Monday’s inauguration ceremony was moved inside the Capitol as freezing temperatures and a snow storm are expected to envelop Washington later in the weekend.

Protesters congregate ahead of People's March

On a slightly drizzly day, what appear several hundred protesters have shown up to one of the kickoff points for the People’s March in Franklin Park.
Many attendees are wearing pink “pussy” hats in a nod to President-elect Trump’s infamous comments about groping women in a leaked “Access Hollywood” tape.
The atmosphere seems cheery and calm despite the weather.
