Dust off your buzzers and mark your calendars! The popular trivia game show Jeopardy! is headed our way. From April 10 to 12, the show will be hosting multiple events throughout Washington, DC.

Details about the three-day showcase are still developing, but it will include visits to local universities and a taping of the podcast Inside Jeopardy! Live at the Lincoln Theatre.

The podcast features behind-the-scenes stories from the show, game analysis, and special interviews from past contestants. Tickets for the taping haven’t been released, but details will be announced on Jeopardy!’s website and social accounts once available.

On Saturday, April 12, Jeopardy! will also be a part of the cherry blossom festivities as the show’s host, Ken Jennings, serves as grand marshal for the National Cherry Blossom Festival Parade. The parade takes place on Constitution Avenue NW between 7th and 17th streets from 10 a.m. to 12:30 p.m. Tickets are on sale and range from $25 to $40.
