Inauguration Day itself will see festivities begin on the west front of Capitol Hill, where Mr Obama will be sworn in before delivering his inauguration address.
For the first time, the length of the National Mall in front will be open to those wishing to attend.
Throughout the day there is a carefully selected programme of music, including the United States Marine Band, Aretha Franklin and John Williams, the composer best known for his film sountracks including Star Wars, Superman and Indiana Jones, who has written a piece for violin, cello, piano and clarinet.
