WASHINGTON – The pandemic has certainly changed how we host events, and that includes President-elect Joe Biden’s Inauguration.

Members of the inaugural committee say there will be a virtual parade after Biden is sworn-in to minimize crowds.

This will certainly be a historic ceremony as the nation watches Biden and the first woman, Vice President-elect Kamala Harris, take office.

But they’re urging people not to travel to D.C. and instead watch the event in person on January 20.

The televised, virtual parade will celebrate American heroes and reflect on our nation’s diversity and heritage. The event will also feature performances in communities across the country.

Performers will be announced in the coming weeks.
