Security | Presidential inaugurations are a festive experience, though as with any event of this size, being prepared will make it smoother and more enjoyable. Be sure to check advisories ahead of time. It is cold in January in DC, so dress warmly and wear comfortable shoes. Thousands of portable toilets are brought onto National Mall and placed in front of Metro stations for the event. Bring your own water and snacks or purchase from on-site vendors.
If you’re a ticket holder to any event, you will have to pass through security screening. Make sure to bring your photo ID and check the list of prohibited items ahead of time.
Transportation | Driving is not recommended. Parking will be limited and there will be road closures to accommodate the crowds and parade, so visitors are recommended to walk, bike and/or use the Metro.
