Star Wars Day is next Monday, May 4, bringing themed bites, activities and giveaways to Arlington.

A Lego Star Wars building event, Grogu-inspired donuts and even an on-theme protest are just some of the ways local residents will be acknowledging the iconic sci-fi saga. Here’s a look at what is planned in the next few days.


Around Town

An Arlington man with a background in trivia game shows will be competing on “Jeopardy!” on Monday night.

Matt Davis, a Capital One banker who lives in Halls Hill, previously competed on “It’s Academic” when he was in high school, and on “Who Wants To Be a Millionaire?” in college. He took his first online test to try and compete on “Jeopardy!” 15 years ago, and had auditioned for the show three times before finally getting his chance.


Around Town

An Arlington journalist starred on “Jeopardy!” last week, winning one night and earning over $14,000.

Susan Stumme, a senior editor at the news agency Agence France-Presse, ended Thursday night on top with a $12,600 win.

Game of Thrones may not be coming back this spring, but a Shirlington bar is giving locals a last chance to use their Westeros trivia before purging the final few seasons from memory.

On Friday, Feb. 28, fans of the HBO series can test their trivia against others at Dudley’s Sport and Ale (2766 S. Arlington Mill Drive) from 7-9:30 in a tournament sponsored by Pour House Trivia.
