Here's what inaugural balls are, who plans inaugural events and how to watch Donald Trump's swearing-in ceremony live today.

Inauguration Day, which marks the beginning of a new presidential term, includes a series of events like the swearing-in ceremony at the U.S. Capitol, a parade down Pennsylvania Avenue, and various celebratory balls. The official inaugural balls are significant as they provide a formal setting for the President and Vice President to celebrate with supporters, dignitaries, and the public. These balls are not just social events but also serve as fundraisers for the inaugural committee, with tickets often sold to cover the costs of the inauguration. Historically, the number of balls has varied; for instance, President Barack Obama had 10 official balls in 2009, while President Joe Biden scaled back to two in 2021 due to the ongoing health concerns. These events feature dancing, music, and speeches, offering a festive atmosphere to celebrate the peaceful transfer of power.
