The 2025 inaugural parade will feature groups from across the nation, showcasing a diverse array of participants and honoring military branches.
A whopping 7,500 participants from 23 states will be there, and you can bet every branch of the U.S. Armed Forces will be represented too. It’s going to be quite the show!
Inaugural parades have been around for ages, dating back to George Washington’s first election. Back then, folks just followed him from Mount Vernon to New York City, cheering him on. It wasn’t until James Madison’s inauguration in 1809 that it became an official thing.
The parade lineup is already looking exciting, with various groups set to march. For instance, the Butler County First Responders from Pennsylvania and the NYPD Emerald Society Pipes & Drums from New York will be there. Plus, there’s a mix of high school bands and military units, making it a real celebration of community and patriotism.
So, mark your calendars! This parade is not just a formality; it’s a chance to see a vibrant display of American spirit and pride.
