PRESIDENTIAL INAUGURATION
PRESIDENTIAL INAUGURATION
Date: January 20, 2020
Time: 12:00 PM – 6:00 PM
Location: Virtual Event
Details: Watch the 2021 Presidential Inauguration Ceremony for Joe Biden and Kamala Harris. The 59th Presidential Inauguration will be a historic and exciting event that showcases the strength and diversity of our nation — and one that every American can enjoy from their home. While the inauguration will look different, we will continue to honor the inaugural traditions Americans have always known: an official outdoor swearing-in ceremony, community service events, a reimagined parade, and virtual celebrations that bring the country together. We’re inviting all Americans to be a part of this inauguration by watching from home, rather than traveling to Washington, DC, in accordance with public health guidelines. Make sure to RSVP and share with your friends and loved ones. Stay tuned for more updates on this event in the coming weeks!
