Plans have been announced as Governor-elect Gretchen Whitmer as sworn in as Michigan’s 49th Governor.

The official swearing in will take place outside the state Capitol building in Lansing at 10:30am, January 1.

The swearing-in ceremony will begin with a musical performance by the 126th Army Band of the National Guard and will include a flyover by the Michigan Air National Guard.

The Governor Elect and Lieutenant Governor Elect will also host a series of community “Whitmer Winter Warm up” events in the weeks following the inauguration.  Those will take place in Detroit, Flint, Grand Rapids, and Marquette.

The swearing in ceremony is open to the public and free to attend.
