This year it will be held at noon on January 20. It takes place outside the U.S. Capitol in Washington D.C. At the inauguration ceremony, the president takes an oath of office. With right hand raised and left hand on an open Bible, the new president says the following statement: This inauguration will make history because Kamala Harris will be first woman vice president of the United States.
