It may literally rain on his parade, but Donald Trump has more than 8,000 participants scheduled to march in the historic event. Following the swearing-in ceremony, Trump and Vice President Mike Pence will proceed 1.5 miles down Pennsylvania Avenue from the Capitol building to the White House starting at 3 p.m. ET on Friday, January 20.
The 2017 inaugural parade will have a stronger military presence than previous years. More than half of the 82 groups in the procession are either active duty military members, veterans or university drill teams. Another 10 associations walking in the parade are police or border patrol.
The event will feature groups from 23 different states, including college marching bands and other university groups. Many of the marchers come from the rural communities that helped Trump to victory, as opposed to major cities. Members of the Boy Scouts of America and the Girl Scouts of the USA will also take part in the tradition, a decision that has been controversial because some argue that Trump does not live up to the values of the two organizations.
This will be one of the smaller parades of its kind in recent history. In contrast, President Barack Obama’s 2009 inaugural parade had more than 100 groups and significantly less military presence, according to The Wall Street Journal. His parade featured groups from 48 states and from Washington, D.C. During the 2009 parade, Obama and his wife, Michelle Obama, walked for about eight minutes before getting back into their vehicle for the remainder of the route.
