Donald Trump will be inaugurated as president of the United States on Friday, January 20, 2017, but that’s far from the only event happening this week to mark the country’s transition of power.
Inauguration events started Thursday and will run through the weekend. Some of the festivities will be taking place amid several organized protests, including the Women’s March on Washington, which is expected to draw about 200,000 people on Saturday.

In latest news, the Presidential Inaugural Committee has raised at least $90 million for the inauguration of President-elect Donald Trump. The money raised will be used to pay for the festivities and provide big donors some face time with the new administration. Donors at the $100,000 level even get a "policy discussion and dinner with select Cabinet appointees."
In addition to the aerospace giant Boeing ($1 million donated) and the oil company Chevron ($500,000), AT&T, Verizon, and Coca-Cola are among the big companies helping fund the galas, ball, and other pomp and circumstance welcoming Trump to the White House. Catch more scoop at Business Insider.
