Fencing and barriers are being taken down across the streets of D.C. following the Army 250th birthday parade over the weekend. FOX 5's David Kaplan has more.

Fox News Digital spoke to attendees of the D.C. military parade, some who had traveled hundreds of miles to participate, about why they had come to the nation’s capital for the event.

The military parade is slated for Saturday, June 14, in the heart of Washington, D.C., spanning six blocks and bisecting the National Mall. Organizers say the procession begins at 3:30 p.m. PST.

In preparation for the parade, the city installed more than 200 steel plates and rubber mats to protect D.C.’s historic streets.

It may be officially the final weekend of spring here in the D.C. region but saying it is anything other than a busy summer weekend would be an understatement. World Pride events continue across the D.

The parade and festival, coinciding with Trump’s birthday and Flag Day, will last nearly sun-up to sun-down. Here's a full schedule of the day's events.

Following this weekend's major events, several roads across D.C. are expected to reopen in the DMV area. However, the rain may affect Monday morning's commute.

MSNBC hosts Ali Velshi and Chris Hayes noted a difference in the atmosphere at the Army's 250th celebration in Washington, D.C., compared to President Trump's rallies.
