Military parade to proceed in Washington DC despite weather, protest concerns

  • President Donald Trump will hold a military parade in Washington D.C. on June 12, 2025, to mark the U.S. Army's 250th anniversary and his 79th birthday.
  • Trump's parade plans were inspired by the 2017 Bastille Day procession in France and overcame earlier logistical and financial delays after opposition to cost and optics.
  • The event features tanks rolling down Constitution Avenue, thousands of soldiers marching, military aircraft flying overhead, and a performance by Lee Greenwood.
  • The White House expects $25 million to $45 million in government spending with private donations helping defray costs, while Trump dismissed criticisms about expense and the parade occurring on his birthday.
  • Despite the chance of thunderstorms and planned nationwide protests, the parade will proceed rain or shine, with enhanced security employing fencing, drones, and a promise to meet protesters with force.
