The inauguration ceremony, to last a little under an hour, will be kicked off by a shot fired from the Gric Cannon at noon and the bells of St. Mark's Church, outside of which the ceremony will take place.
After the Gric Cannon shot, Grabar-Kitarovic will walk onto a stage on St. Mark's Square, accompanied by her husband Jakov and the sound of fanfares, where Constitutional Court judges will be waiting.
She will arrive to the square by cable car and walk down Cirilometodska Street through two rows of citizens and historical military units from all over Croatia.
Following the national anthem, a minute's silence will be observed for those killed in the 1991-95 Homeland War.
After Grabar-Kitarovic is sworn in, signs the presidential oath and receives the presidential sash from Judge Omejec, the Guard of Honour will walk towards the stage and one of the members will walk up carrying the national flag, to which the president will pay her respects, accompanied by ten cannon salutes and a recital of Ivan Gundulic's "Hymn to Freedom.
The president will then deliver a 20-25 minute speech, after which the Croatian Army's wind orchestra will perform Jakov Gotovac's "Ode to the Land".
The folklore ensemble Lado will then sing the traditional "Lijepo pjeva za lugom djevojka", followed by soloist Radojka Sverko singing "Ljubim te do bola", accompanied by the Croatian Army's orchestra.
Four choirs will then perform Gotovac's "Ero the Joker" opera.
The inauguration will end with the Izvor choir singing "Dream for the Future", after which Croatian and foreign guests will have a chance to congratulate the president.
After the inauguration speech, she and her husband will descend the stage and sit among the guests from Croatia - former presidents, prime ministers, a government delegation led by PM Zoran Milanovic, a parliament delegation led by Speaker Josip Leko, and other political, cultural and religious figures.
