A Craigslist advertisement seeking paid "seat fillers" to attend US President Donald Trump's grand military parade in Washington is spreading rapidly online ahead of the June 14, 2025 event. But there is no evidence the listing is aut hentically connected to the Army Birthday Parade;

WASHINGTON (AP) — Eight years after President Donald Trump was dazzled by a grand military parade down the Champs-Élysées in Paris, he is finally getting a chance to try to top the spectacle.

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.

The parade, which is expected to draw 200,000 spectators to the streets of Washington, D.C., celebrates the 250th anniversary of the U.S. Army but also comes on Trump’s 79th birthday, raising complaints from some that its real purpose is to embellish his strongman image. The Army says the parade will cost up to $45 million.

Protesters of the June 14 Army parade in Washington, D.C., "will be met with very big force," President Donald Trump said on June 10.
