What we know about Trump’s inauguration so far<\/span><\/strong><\/span><\/h2>\n

What we know about Trump\u2019s inauguration so far:-<\/strong> There\u2019s less than two weeks to go until Donald Trump is sworn in as the 45th president of the United States, and we still don\u2019t know a lot about his inauguration.<\/span><\/p>\n

Sure, it\u2019s always a last-minute flurry to finalize schedules, ticket sales, performers and other details, but the 2017 Presidential Inaugural Committee has yet to reveal many specifics for the three-day celebration. Which means that a lot is going on behind the scenes \u2014 or that everything will come together in the last few days.<\/span><\/p>\n

The committee is \u201cfully focused on organizing world-class events that honor our nation\u2019s tremendous history and reach every corner of the globe,\u201d said communications director Boris Epshteyn.<\/span><\/p>\n

At the very least, it looks as if there\u2019s still plenty of room for Trump fans hoping to attend the festivities.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cHopefully, all supporters, and those who want to MAKE AMERICA GREAT AGAIN, will go to D.C. on January 20th. It will be a GREAT SHOW!\u201d the president-elect tweeted Friday.<\/span><\/p>\n

Here\u2019s a quick update about the official events.<\/span><\/p>\n

The inauguration slogan: \u201cMake America Great Again!\u201d Trump\u2019s catchphrase received an exclamation point, because inaugurations are even more exciting than presidential campaigns.<\/span><\/p>\n

The schedule: The inauguration kicks off the morning of Thursday, Jan. 19, with a wreath-laying ceremony at Arlington National Cemetery and a \u201cwelcome celebration\u201d on the Mall with President-elect Trump and Vice President-elect Mike Pence. The swearing-in, the parade and the balls will take place Jan. 20. The next day, the new president and administration officials will attend a prayer service at the Washington National Cathedral.<\/span><\/p>\n

The concert: No list of performers has been announced for the outdoor concert at the Lincoln Memorial, although the Rockettes and the Mormon Tabernacle Choir are slated to appear at some event. But don\u2019t look for a lineup of big names. \u201cThe so-called \u2018A\u2019 list celebrities are all wanting tixs to the inauguration, but look what they did for Hillary, NOTHING. I want the PEOPLE!\u201d he tweeted last month.<\/span><\/p>\n

The swearing-in: The ceremony at noon Friday will be preceded by a church service and a brief meeting with President Obama. It\u2019s unclear whether the president-elect and his family will spend the previous night at Blair House, a tradition started by Jimmy Carter. (Inauguration officials say he\u2019s leaning toward staying there, but there\u2019s been no official announcement.)<\/span><\/p>\n

The ceremony and the congressional lunch afterward are hosted by the Joint Congressional Committee on Inaugural Ceremonies, which will release about 250,000 tickets to the swearing-in starting Monday. These tickets are distributed by members of Congress.<\/span><\/p>\n

Sixteen-year-old singer Jackie Evancho will sing the national anthem, and New York\u2019s Cardinal Timothy Dolan and Franklin Graham are among the faith leaders who will offer prayers or readings during the ceremony.<\/span><\/p>\n

Inaugural merchandise: The committee has not released any information about official souvenirs or memorabilia. This week, a site paid for by the Trump Make America Great Again Committee (a joint fundraising committee of Donald J. Trump for President, Inc., and the Republican National Committee) launched with \u201c45\u201d hats, lapel buttons, mugs, T-shirts and tote bags ranging from $10 to $60.<\/span><\/p>\n
