Washington: If you’re heading to the Inauguration Day festivities, listen up! There are a bunch of items you can’t bring onto Capitol Grounds. Seriously, if you show up with any of these, you might be asked to leave.

With Donald Trump’s Presidential Inauguration coming up on Monday, excitement is in the air. But to keep everyone safe, the Capitol Police Board has laid down the law on what’s off-limits.

So, what can’t you bring? Well, it’s a long list. No alcohol, no bags over a certain size, no weapons, and definitely no fireworks. Even things like bicycles, chairs, and umbrellas are a no-go. If it could be a security risk, it’s probably banned.

And just a heads up, while you can’t bring liquids, they’ll have water available for ticketed guests. So, make sure to check the latest guidelines before you head out. The goal here is to keep things safe and smooth for everyone attending.
