Tennessee Gov. Bill Lee today announced the theme and schedule of events for the 2023 inaugural celebration. Lee will take the oath of office for his second term at a ceremony on Jan. 21 at 11 a.m. CST on Legislative Plaza in Nashville. The oath will be administered by Tennessee Supreme Court Chief Justice Roger Page. This year’s theme “Tennessee: Leading the Nation” was chosen to reflect the state’s role in “leading the nation as a guiding light for opportunity, security and freedom.” Other inaugural events include free tours of the state capitol and Tennessee State Museum, reception at the Wildhorse Saloon, a worship service at the Ryman Auditorium, and the first couple’s inaugural dinner and ball. Details for all events are available online.
