The event takes place in Tallahassee, although the first inauguration held on the Capitol plaza was not until 1983 for Governor Graham. The two-day celebration includes both formal and informal social activities such as luncheons, swearing-in ceremonies, parades, and a variety of gala celebrations. Inaugural committees are responsible for planning and overseeing the events and related logistics such as funding, traffic control, security, hotel reservations, invitations and attendees, and other elements of the inauguration ceremonies.
