What to expect

Artillery salutes, a parade and the start of the 2019 legislative session will mark Inauguration Day on Wednesday, when Edward Miner Lamont Jr. becomes Connecticut’s 89th governor.

The early afternoon swearing-in ceremony will be in the State Armory.

Located next to the Legislative Office Building at 360 Broad St., the Armory event will precede a parade around the Capitol to its north steps. Doors will open at the Armory around 11:30 a.m. in advance of the 12:30 p.m. event, which is free and open to the public.
