WASHINGTON (AP) — Eight years after President Donald Trump was dazzled by a grand military parade down the Champs-Élysées in Paris, he is finally getting a chance to try to top the spectacle.

As a military parade rolls through Washington, DC, on Saturday – President Donald Trump’s birthday – millions of Americans are expected to protest in what organizers predict will be the strongest display of opposition to Trump’s administration since he took office in January.

Thousands of soldiers, military equipment and more are set for this weekend in Washington D.C. for the U.S. Army's 250th anniversary celebration.

Troops get military assets into place and security fencing goes up around the National Mall where a large image of President Donald Trump drapes a federal building in preparation for Saturday’s military parade marking the 250th anniversary of the U.

The 250th Birthday of the US Army Grand Military Parade kicks off at 6:30 p.m. ET on Saturday. Here's which roads will be closed in Washington, D.C.

The event is being held to celebrate the 250th anniversary of the U.S. army and coincides with President Trump's birthday.

As Washington, D.C., cleans up from the weekend’s culmination of World Pride, the capital city’s focus now shifts straight into a very different mass event — the June 14 military parade to honor the 250th birthday of the army and the 79th birthday of President Donald Trump.

The parade celebrating the Army’s 250th anniversary is nearly here. But, for D.C. locals and tourists, security measures are putting a damper on plans.
