U.S. Sen. Mark Warner (D-Virginia) is encouraging groups from Virginia to apply for a chance to participate in the 2025 Presidential Inaugural Parade in Washington, D.C. The parade is scheduled for Monday, Jan. 20.

"Presidential inaugurations are not just symbolic ceremonies – they are an instrument of democracy by which we execute the peaceful transfer of power in this country,” said Warner. “I encourage Virginia’s talented entities – including our many marching bands, floats, and equestrian groups – to take part in this time-honored tradition, dating back when President Jefferson rode his horse from the Capitol to the President's House in a procession that would become the Inaugural Parade we know today.”

The JTF-NCR Parade Coordinator Office is accepting applications for the 60th Inaugural Parade through Dec. 4. The JTF-NCR will collect and organize the applications, which will then be reviewed by the Presidential Inaugural Committee . The PIC, at the discretion of the president-elect, organizes all Inaugural events.

In 2017, the parade included 48 non-DoD elements selected from 141 applications. Groups interested in applying can review the parade application guide and register for an account on the Joint Task Force-National Capital Region website by clicking here.
