From CBS News: A military parade through the streets of Washington, D.C., is being held to celebrate the U.S. Army’s 250th anniversary on Saturday, June 14 — which also happens to be President Trump’s 79th birthday. Army officials say about 6,600 soldiers, 150 vehicles and more than 50 aircraft are set to participate.

The parade along the National Mall will be free and open to the public. Hundreds of thousands are expected to attend the festivities, D.C. officials said.

The parade is scheduled to begin at 6:30 p.m. EDT.

The parade route runs along Constitution Avenue in Washington, D.C. It kicks off at 23rd Street NW, near the Lincoln Memorial, then proceeds along the National Mall, past the White House and the Washington Monument, until it reaches its endpoint at 15th Street NW.

The parade is expected to last about an hour. It will be followed by a concert at the Ellipse in front of the White House and then a fireworks display scheduled for 9:45 p.m. EDT.

The parade is reportedly expected to cost up to $45 million.
