The longest inaugural address was almost two hours, top hats and full morning dress used to be required, and not every president was sworn in with a bible.

Inauguration Day will be filled with ceremonies and events, among them, the traditional Presidential Parade.

The parade is set to feature nearly 7,500 participants from 23 states, according to the Trump Vance Inaugural Committee.

"Inaugural parades are a long-lived tradition -- dating back to President Washington’s first election, when impromptu crowds of supporters followed and cheered behind him as he traveled from Mount Vernon to New York City," the committee said in a release. "Presidents Adams and Jefferson also had spontaneous parades, which continued until the inauguration of President James Madison in 1809, when they became an official part of the event."

Playing a prominent role in this year's events will be Butler County first responders, who will honor the life of former fire chief Corey Comperatore, who was shot and killed during the attempted assassination of President-elect Donald Trump in July.

“What we did together at the Butler Farm Show Grounds as first responders, police and pre-hospital emergency teams on that terrible day in July is what we are trained to do in Butler County every day: protect and save lives," the Butler County First Responders group said in a statement. "We are forever changed by the devastating loss of our fellow first responder Corey Comperatore. We hope all Americans will pause today to remember the bravery and sacrifice of their own first responders and police, the expertise of their 911 dispatchers, and the skill of their local hospital emergency and medical staff and emergency management agencies."
