Hundreds of military vehicles and aircraft will take to the streets and skies of D.C. on June 14 as part of a military parade and celebration of the 250th birthday of the U.S. Army.

The event brings with it sizable financial and travel impacts, and may have an impact on the District’s streets as well.

But President Donald Trump’s administration said the cost will be well worth it in order to tell the story of the Army and boost pride in the nation’s military, along with potentially assisting military recruitment efforts.

Here are the answers to some common questions surrounding the spectacle.

Q:
When is the parade?

The parade begins at 6:30 p.m. and ends at 7:30 p.m., {snip}

4. I hope there's an accounting of the cost. Come see the waste and abuse.
