President-elect Donald J. Trump will kick off a series of inaugural events Saturday with a party for about 500 donors, friends and other supporters at his golf club in Sterling, Virginia, inaugural committee officials said.

It is the first location for ceremonies that typically honor a new US president. The club, about an hour’s drive from Washington, will be Mr. Trump’s first stop after landing his private plane at Joint Base Andrews in Maryland. The last time he will fly aboard the plane with his name emblazoned in gold letters for the next four years. He will be accompanied by his wife Melania Trump and some of his family members.

The next day, Mr. Trump is scheduled to hold a rally with his supporters at the Capital One Arena in Washington. He is expected to visit Arlington National Cemetery in Virginia before the rally and then attend a candlelight dinner with supporters. And on Monday, January 20, Mr. Trump, the only one other than Grover Cleveland to be elected to non-consecutive terms, will be sworn in as the 47th president.

At Trump National Golf Club in Sterling, Virginia, overlooking the Potomac River, the inaugural committee plans to use the entire sprawling clubhouse, officials said. Mr Trump’s staff is preparing to show hours of music videos on dozens of televisions spread across the club’s three floors.

The event will feature what Mr. Trump likes to see and hear at public events and will include some Trump trademarks, such as a five-hour music playlist. There will be a well-known Elvis impersonator and tribute performer named Leo Days, as well as Christopher Macchio, a tenor whom Mr. Trump introduced at his last two Republican national conventions and at an October rally in Butler, Pennsylvania. Pop-up performances would take place throughout the night, officials said.

The evening will include an extensive fireworks display and tents will most likely be set up outdoors to accommodate guests in the freezing weather. The next day, Mr. Trump will attend a victory rally at Capital One Arena.

The rally underscored how much Mr. Trump benefits from his supporters, but also how much has changed in eight years. In 2017, just after a bitterly contested election, a Trump rally in the heart of Washington — a staunchly Democratic city — would have been unthinkable. But Mr. Trump, who increased his vote share in several major cities, made a point of holding rallies in Democratic-leaning locations during the 2024 campaign, including New York City, where he packed Madison Square Garden.

What hasn’t changed, however, is Mr. Trump’s penchant for using and displaying his property.

When Mr. Trump first arrived in Washington in January 2017, his first stop was the hotel — a converted federal postal building — that he had opened the year before on Pennsylvania Avenue, where several hundred of his supporters gathered for an official luncheon.

However, he no longer has the lease on the hotel, which is owned by the federal government and was a central meeting place for his allies, advisers, administration officials and lobbyists during his time in office. This ownership situation sparked criticism from Democrats about conflicts of interest. Republicans often said they thought it was easier to hold events at his properties than to work at other hotels, where some employees and workers were not fans of Mr. Trump.

The Trump Organization sold the lease after Mr. Trump left office in 2021. It was the only place Mr. Trump visited in Washington for dinner outside the White House.

Mr. Trump’s son Eric is pushing to take it back.

The inaugural committee for Mr. Trump’s second term raised a staggering amount of money, according to several people briefed on the figure. It totals more than $170 million, they said, far exceeding the $107 million Trump’s allies raised for inaugural events in 2017. The current inaugural committee has run out of tickets to events and some are donating even though they know they may not make it to the venues to see Mr. Trump.
