Inauguration Day is fast approaching, and the schedule of events is shaping up.
Here's what we know so far about the events expected to draw 1 million people to Washington:
Thursday, Jan. 19
Wreath-Laying Ceremony, Arlington National Cemetery
President-elect Donald Trump will participate in a ceremony at the military cemetery.
'Make America Great Again! Welcome Celebration,' Lincoln Memorial
The Presidential Inaugural Committee (PIC) calls this the "official kickoff to the inaugural events." Trump will give his first major speech here, PIC spokesman Alex Stroman said in an interview with News4.
The festivities will begin with "Voices of the People" performances and then segue into the "Make America Great Again! Welcome Celebration." Military bands also will participate, and a fireworks show will follow.
Country music star Toby Keith, actor Jon Voight and rock band 3 Doors Down are among the participants.
Go here to see the full list of participants.
The time of the event had not been announced as of Jan. 13.
Tickets will be required for special viewing areas but will not be required for general public viewing areas.
Friday, Jan. 20
In line with tradition, before Trump is sworn in, he will stay at Blair House, "the president's guest house." On Inauguration Day morning, he will have coffee with President Barack Obama and attend a service at St. John's Church.
Inaugural Swearing-In Ceremony, the U.S. Capitol
Trump will be sworn in as president on the west side of the Capitol building.
Security screening gates will open at 6 a.m., music will begin about 9:30 a.m. and opening remarks will begin at 11:30 a.m.
The 16-year-old soprano Jackie Evancho, who was a contestant on the reality show "America's Got Talent," will sing the national anthem.
The Mormon Tabernacle Choir, which is renowned for its soaring renditions of religious and patriotic music, and the Radio City Rockettes also are set to perform.
Six prominent clergy members will give readings at the ceremony, The Washington Post reported: Cardinal Timothy Dolan, the Rev. Franklin Graham, Rabbi Marvin Hier, Bishop Wayne T. Jackson, the Rev. Samuel Rodriguez and Pastor Paula White.
Tickets will be required for special viewing areas located east of Fourth Street NW but will not be required for general public viewing areas located west of Fourth Street NW.
The Joint Congressional Committee on Inaugural Ceremonies will issue nearly 250,000 color-coded tickets to the ceremony. Tickets will be released to U.S. House members on Monday, Jan. 9 and to U.S. senators on Tuesday, Jan. 10. Members of Congress are considered the hosts of the event. Every person headed to a ticketed area needs a ticket, including children.
Inaugural Parade, Pennsylvania Avenue
Forty organizations, including several military and veterans groups, will march in the inaugural parade.
Seven high school marching bands are set to perform. It was a longstanding tradition for a D.C. high school marching band to play in the parade, but not one school applied to participate this time.
The parade will move from the Capitol to the White House. It is expected to be shorter this year, at about an hour and a half.
"That's probably a testament to this president's willingness and eagerness to get to work for the American people," Stroman said.
Tickets will be required for special viewing areas but will not be required for general public viewing areas.
Official Inaugural Balls
Trump is expected to attend three official inaugural balls.
Tickets will be required.
Saturday, Jan. 21
National Prayer Service, Washington National Cathedral
An interfaith prayer service will be held the day after Trump becomes president.
