President-elect Donald J. Trump will host a series of events around the nation’s capital for his second presidential inauguration, feting a wide array of donors, supporters and incoming members of his new administration over four days.
Here’s the schedule:
Mr. Trump was expected to begin the celebrations with a party for roughly 500 at the sprawling clubhouse for his golf club in Sterling, Va., featuring musical performances and an extensive fireworks display.
The president-elect will land at Joint Base Andrews in Maryland on his private plane, joined by his wife, Melania Trump, and some of his family members before making his way to his golf course in Sterling, which overlooks the Potomac River.
Mr. Trump’s aides are preparing a five-hour music playlist, as well as hours of music videos to be shown on dozens of televisions placed throughout the three floors of the club. There will be performances by Leo Days, an Elvis impersonator and tribute performer, and Christopher Macchio, a tenor whom Mr. Trump has previously featured at political events. Other performances will take place throughout the night, officials said.
Mr. Trump is expected to pay a visit to Arlington National Cemetery in Virginia — his first to the hallowed military cemetery since last year, when he appeared for a wreath-laying ceremony in honor of the 13 U.S. service members killed in a suicide bombing during the U.S. withdrawal from Afghanistan in 2021. During that visit, a member of Mr. Trump’s staff pushed an Arlington official who was trying to stop the campaign from filming in a heavily restricted area of the cemetery, according to Army officials. Political campaigning is not permitted at the graves of military service members.
