What is closed on Inauguration Day?
For the second time, America is welcoming Donald Trump to the White House, but preparations must be made for Inauguration Day.
Here’s what we know about the services that will be closed on January 20, 2025, which is also Martin Luther King Day for the first time in 28 years.
What will be closed on Inauguration Day?
Since the Inauguration and MLK Day are being doubled, many services will be closed.
Many government offices that would typically remain open, including for the inauguration, will have their opening hours impacted by MLK Day, which is regarded as a federal holiday.
The majority of state and local federal offices, including post offices, will be closed for the day, as citizens can anticipate.
Federal holidays are a delivery-free day.

On January 20, 2025, the Delaware Art Museum will hold an MLK Day of Service.
The community will have an opportunity to reflect as a whole.
It is recommended that non-essential government employees verify their company’s policy to determine whether they are eligible for the day off.
When has Martin Luther King Day ever been on the same day as the Inauguration?
Every year on the third Monday in January, Martin Luther King Day is observed.
Since 1986, people have been remembering it.
Since January 20 is always Inauguration Day, the dates may occasionally conflict.
The first president to be sworn in on MLK Day was Bill Clinton.
In 1997, he took the oath of office for a second term.
Ronald Reagan was sworn in on Sunday, January 20, 1985, but the frigid weather forced the event to be moved indoors.
His public festivities took place on Monday, January 21, which was also MLK’s birthday.
Reagan was the one who mandated that the third Monday in January be designated as MLK Day.
In 2013, the Sunday-Monday run was also held for Barack Obama’s second inauguration.
Since he was the first Black American to hold the presidency, this was particularly poignant.
On MLK Day, Donald Trump will also take the oath of office.
What can be expected for Donald Trump’s second Inauguration?
The inauguration will put Trump back in the presidential hot seat, even though not much is known about the day’s events.
J.D. Vance will take the oath of office as the 50th vice president of the United States alongside Trump.
There will be an inauguration luncheon, a pass-in-review, a procession, an arade, an assigning ceremony, and an aswearing ceremony.
A number of locations host inaugural balls both prior to and following the ceremonies.
In protest, a number of Democratic members of Congress have declared that they will not be attending the ceremony.
As is customary for previous presidents, Joe Biden is anticipated to attend the ceremony.
It will be Trump’s second inauguration; the first one took place in 2017.
