Friday, Jan. 20

Inauguration Day begins with quiet prayer. It will end with the president dancing his way across the capital.

Early morning | Private family breakfast 
If tradition holds, the Trumps and their invited guests will share a private breakfast at Blair House, the president’s guesthouse. They are expected to stay the night there Thursday into Friday.

8:30 a.m. | Private prayer service 
The president-elect and his family will attend a religious service at St. John’s Episcopal Church, just a short walk from Blair House.

9:30 a.m. | Coffee date at the White House 
The incoming and departing presidents will meet at the White House with their wives. As is customary, Mr. Trump and Mr. Obama will then ride together down Pennsylvania Avenue to the Capitol.

11:30 a.m. | Swearing-in ceremony 
With American officials and other dignitaries gathered on the West Front of the Capitol, the official inauguration ceremony will feature religious leaders with ties to Mr. Trump, remarks from Senator Roy Blunt of Missouri, the chairman of the congressional inaugural committee, and musical performances.

Around noon | Oath of office and inaugural address 
Chief Justice John G. Roberts will administer the oath of office as Mr. Trump rests his hand on two Bibles: one he’s owned since childhood and the Lincoln Bible. Mr. Trump will then deliver his speech.

Sometime after noon | The Obamas depart 
With Mr. Trump installed as president, the Obamas will bid farewell and depart from the East Front of the Capitol.

Early afternoon | Luncheon 
The luncheon, held for government leaders and friends in the Capitol Rotunda, will feature musical performances, an elaborate menu and remarks to honor the new president and vice president.

After lunch | Review of Armed Forces 
Mr. Trump will review the American armed forces from the East Front of the Capitol after lunch.

Thereafter | Inaugural parade 
Mr. Trump and Mr. Pence will lead the parade from the Capitol down Pennsylvania Avenue, with thousands of military personnel representing each branch. Once he has arrived at the White House, Mr. Trump will watch the rest of the parade from a reviewing stand there.

7 p.m. and on | Inaugural balls 
There will be two official inaugural balls, held on separate floors of the Walter E. Washington Convention Center, as well as the Armed Services Ball, which will be held at the National Building Museum. Mr. Trump is expected to make remarks and take to the dance floor at all three.

Saturday, Jan. 21

The inauguration schedule ends Saturday morning, but tens of thousands of marchers have their say before the day is over.

10 a.m. | National Prayer Service 
The Washington National Cathedral will host the traditional prayer service for Mr. Trump and Mr. Pence to begin their terms in prayer and reflection. The service marks the end of the official inaugural schedule.

10 a.m. | The Women’s March on Washington 
Expected to be the week’s largest protest action, the march begins with a rally at the base of Capitol Hill. The speaker schedule and the route for the marchers have yet to be announced. The march is set to begin moving at 1:15 p.m.
