Trump Administration Revives Plans for Military Parade in Washington

Early-stage preparations are underway for a June 14 event coinciding with Trump's 79th birthday and the US Army's 250th anniversary.

The Trump administration is planning a military parade in Washington, D.C., scheduled for June 14, 2025, aligning with Donald Trump’s 79th birthday and the 250th anniversary of the US Army.
The proposed parade route spans nearly four miles, starting at the Pentagon in Arlington, Virginia, and ending at the White House.
Local officials, including Washington Mayor Muriel Bowser, have confirmed preliminary discussions with the administration, though official applications and agreements are still pending.
A similar plan during Trump’s first term was canceled due to estimated costs of $92 million and concerns over damage to city infrastructure from heavy military vehicles.
The current proposal has reignited debates over financial feasibility and the potential impact on Washington’s streets and infrastructure.
