The celebration includes dozens of day of service events around the state. The swearing in will be held at the capitol at 12 noon where 5,000 people are expected to attend including Bill and Hillary Clinton. The governor’s mansion will open to the public for an open house. There will be no charge at the Richmond public parking garages.
