The longest inaugural address was almost two hours, top hats and full morning dress used to be required, and not every president was sworn in with a bible.

The swearing-in of Donald Trump is scheduled for Monday, scheduled for Jan. 20, 2025, but the days before and after will feature a litany of inauguration ceremonies and displays.

The Trump Vance Inaugural Committee on Monday released a schedule of inaugural events to be held over a four-day celebration, starting Saturday. See it below. Tickets and more information can be found here.
