Ahead of Inauguration Day on Monday, President-elect Donald Trump is holding a reception and fireworks show Saturday night at his golf club in Virginia.
On Sunday, he will lay a wreath at Arlington National Cemetery and then hold a "Make America Great Again Victory Rally" in Washington ahead of Monday's swearing-in ceremony, which has now been moved inside to the Capitol Rotunda because of frigid temperatures in the nation's capital.
The Special Air Mission plane carrying President-elect Donald Trump and his family has landed in Virginia at Washington Dulles International Airport.
Maj. Gen. John Andonie, the commanding general of the District of Columbia National Guard, told ABC News' MaryAlice Parks that he has "never felt more confident about" about the National Guard's security posture ahead of the big day.
The last-minute move inside the Capitol Rotunda is something that the National Guard members are adjusting to, but he added that their plan is still sound.
"We actually did rehearse several contingencies … and that was just one of several contingencies we've been looking at. This is not a surprise," he said.

The Special Air Mission plane carrying President-elect Donald Trump and his family has taken off from Florida and is en route to Washington, D.C., for the inauguration events.
He is expected to land at Washington Dulles International Airport later this evening.
Despite the last-second change of venue, Trump told ABC News' Rachel Scott the Big Tech CEOs he invited to the inauguration are "happier" about the change in plans because of the cold and said he expects all of them are still coming.
"We have almost 700 seats. It's not small by any means, but it's small by comparison to being outside," he said. "They're all coming. Every one is coming from the companies."
The Presidential Inauguration Security Team said Saturday that it has updated a lot of the security perimeter that was in place for the inauguration.
The focus will now be on the U.S. Capitol and Capital One Arena.
The screens on the mall have been removed, so there will be no way to view the swearing-in ceremony from the mall.
It also said there will be no parade on Pennsylvania Avenue. Rather, there will be a "standard motorcade" from Capital One Arena to the White House.

President-elect Donald Trump, his wife, Melania Trump, and their son Barron boarded the Special Air Mission plane that will take them to Washington, D.C.
The president-elect did not walk by the press area on the tarmac but gave a wave as he entered the plane.
Ivanka Trump, her husband, Jared Kushner, and their children boarded the Special Air Mission plane that will take them to Washington for the inauguration.
The couple was heavily involved in the first Trump administration but will not be involved in his second.
Earlier, Eric and Lara Trump and their children were seen boarding the president-elect's private plane.
Trump has repeatedly said he doesn't plan to pardon the Jan. 6 rioters who were charged for their roles in the Capitol attack.
The president-elect declined to provide specifics about any pardons when asked by ABC News' Rachel Scott.
"I'd rather not say right now. Those people were treated unfairly. So it's going to be coming out very shortly," Trump said.
In his interview with ABC News' Rachel Scott, Trump previewed the executive actions he plans to take on Day One and said to expect a large focus on immigration and a rollback of President Joe Biden's electric vehicle mandates.
"We have to get them out, and we're prepared to do so. Otherwise, we're not going to have a country," Trump said of undocumented immigrants.
"And electric mandate, I think you'll see that rapidly disappear. How ridiculous that was," he added contending that people want more choices.
President-elect Donald Trump spoke with ABC News' Rachel Scott on Saturday and discussed a wide range of topics as he prepares for his inauguration.
When asked what people can expect to hear from his speech, the president-elect said, "I think it will be unity. I think it will be strength. It will be fairness."
"Very important is fairness because some people are not treated fairly. It will be those three topics," Trump added.
