Presidential inaugurations are one of the biggest events in the nation’s capital and involve collaborative effort from many partners to assist with planning, setup and cleanup, communicating information to the public, health and security resources, and day-of event support to make festivities a safe and enjoyable experience for visitors and staff. Step behind the scenes to see support and setup on park land before, during, and after Inauguration Day on January 20, 2021, as many events were reimagined as virtual experiences.
