Washington, D.C., is gearing up for travelers ahead of Inauguration Day on Jan. 20, bringing Americans to the nation's capital as President-elect Trump returns to D.C.
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.
The ideal location is a hotel within walking distance of Capitol Hill,' she said. 'A lot of the city will shut down and many locations will be gated, so it's extremely difficult to move around the city.' Petersen said she advises visitors to consider staying at destinations that are located outside the district on metro stops if hotel costs in the area are outside people's budgets. Travelers should check the weather prior to their trip, ensuring proper clothes are packed.
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.
