The military parade to mark the Army’s 250th anniversary and its convergence with President Donald Trump’s 79th birthday are combining to create a peacetime outlier in U.S. history. Yet it still reflects global traditions that serve a range of political and cultural purposes.
The federal government may spend as much as $45 million on the event, which falls on Trump's birthday but officially honors the U.S. Army's 250th birthday
The parade is scheduled to take place along the Constitution Avenue NW. It begins from the Constitution Avenue NW and the 23rd Street and will conclude on the 15th Street alongside the National Mall. The ending point is near the National Museum of African American History and Culture.
