Festivities for President-elect Donald Trump's inauguration will be a lightning rod mix of celebrations and protests that mark the transition from a long and tumultuous campaign to a new White House administration.
The schedule is packed with more than 60 events planned in Washington, D.C., alone to honor the swearing in of the 45th president.
Hundreds of thousands of people are expected to gather at the nation's capital throughout the weekend. Countless more will be coming together across the country. Here is a rundown of the protests and rallies expected to make a splash.

Bikers for Trump is the same troupe that made an appearance at the Republican National Convention and at rallies across the country. They plan to sweep the capital by riding from Virginia to Washington, D.C., but their inauguration attendance will come with a major caveat — the bikers are barred from actually riding their motorcycles at the event.
