On Friday, January 13, through Sunday, January 15, a celebration ensues for Virginia's next governor, Tim Kaine, who is to be inaugurated at this building, located in Colonial Williamsburg's Historic Area. Friday night The Beach Boys will head up the concert, billed as "Promise of Virginia," which will be held at the Kaplan Arena at the College of William and Mary. The actual inauguration will take place on Saturday, January 14, at noon at the capitol building.
There have been two governors in prior history to take the oath of office in Williamsburg: Patrick Henry in 1776, and Thomas Jefferson in 1779. This year, a parade will march after the ceremony through Duke of Gloucester Street and at 6 pm the Williamsburg Inaugural Ball will begin at the College of William and Mary W&M Hall.
