Fireworks lit up the sky behind the Washington Monument to mark the end of Inauguration Day for United States President Joe Biden.
Biden and first lady Jill Biden watched the end of the day's events from a balcony in the White House on Wednesday night.
The Bidens' grandchildren danced and clapped on the balcony.
While the coronavirus pandemic and security concerns in Washington vastly scaled back inaugural events, organizers created a celebratory atmosphere with live and recorded celebrity performances, ending with singer Katy Perry.
Here are some of the glimpses.
