Inaugural Parade Features Military, Student and High School Representatives

Impact

President Obama is now at the forefront of the country for a second term — and, as it turns out, at the forefront of his second inaugural parade, a tradition dating back to 1789.

The parade has just begun, and features a staggering 8,800 people, roughly 200 animals, and dozens of floats — not to mention the president himself, front and center.

If you're planning on attending or just want more information on who's marching today, check out our coverage of the parade route here.
