Despite the parade, overall travel demand to Washington D.C. remains steady this weekend. Here's what travelers should know.

President Donald Trump on Saturday is set to host a major military parade in Washington, celebrating the Army’s 250th anniversary and Flag Day.

Flag Day 2025 is expected to be observed with a massive military parade in Washington, D.C. — and hundreds of "No Kings" protests nationwide. Saturday also marks the 250th anniversary of the U.S. Army. Utah's Army-connected organizations will host an "Army birthday party" at Fort Douglas in Salt Lake City.

The parade marks the 250th anniversary of when the Continental Congress voted to create the Continental Army. It also happens to coincide with President Donald Trump's birthday.
