Trump Vance Inaugural Committee announces Presidential Parade participants

The Trump Vance Inaugural Committee announced the initial list of groups that have accepted an invitation to participate in the annual Presidential Inaugural Parade, which will be held on Jan. 20, immediately following the swearing in of President Donald J. Trump and Senator J.D. Vance. Nearly 7,500 participants from 23 states will represent Americans from all walks of life, including a variety of veterans groups, first responders, high school and university marching bands, and equestrian groups. 

 

As is tradition, each branch of the United States Armed Forces will also be represented.  

 

“The committee is grateful and overwhelmed by the outpouring of interest from Americans across the country seeking to participate in one of our nation’s most important and longstanding traditions. With upwards of 7,500 participants joining in the Presidential Inaugural Parade, we are thrilled to honor our country and begin America’s new Golden Era,” said co-chairs Steve Witkoff and Kelly Loeffler, Trump Vance Inaugural Committee.

 

Inaugural parades are a long-lived tradition — dating back to President Washington’s first election, when impromptu crowds of supporters followed and cheered behind him as he traveled from Mount Vernon to New York City. Presidents Adams and Jefferson also had spontaneous parades, which continued until the inauguration of President James Madison in 1809, when they became an official part of the event.
