WASHINGTON, D.C. – Today, the Presidential Inaugural Committee announced details on the three official presidential inaugural balls being held on the evening of January 20, 2017.

Since 1809, the inaugural balls have been an opportunity for Americans from every corner of the country to visit Washington, D.C. to honor the newly sworn-in President and Vice President of the United States of America.

“Our country was founded on, and has endured because of, the undying principles of freedom and liberty. In honoring these important values, the inauguration of President-elect Donald J. Trump and Vice President-elect Michael R. Pence will be celebrated at two balls open to the public, Liberty and Freedom: The Official Presidential Inaugural Balls,” said Communications Director Boris Epshteyn. “Additionally, we are pleased to announce the Salute to Our Armed Services Ball, open to invited guests who serve our country in our communities, at home, and abroad.”

The President-elect and Mrs. Trump and Vice President-elect and Mrs. Pence plan to attend all three inaugural balls to join in ringing in a new day in America.

Liberty and Freedom: The Official Presidential Inaugural Balls will take place at the Walter E. Washington Convention Center and, for the first time ever, the Presidential Inaugural Committee will provide all television networks the right to freely air the live two-hour show simultaneously in both balls, allowing Americans throughout the country to watch the President’s remarks and first dance with the First Lady.
