The constitution says the inauguration must occur on January 20th. But this year, that day fell on a Sunday, meaning most businesses and government offices were closed. So, there was a small, private ceremony in the White House (to fulfill the constitutional rules) on January 20th, but then a larger public ceremony the next day, which in 2013, turned out to be Martin Luther King Day.
