This year marks the 30th anniversary of the PBS show Antiques Roadshow and the series is doing something very special to celebrate the occasion. The hit show, which is also PBS’s most-watched ongoing series, will head out on a five-city production tour to film the 30th season, and fans could be a part of it!

Starting in April, Antiques Roadshow will travel to Savannah, GA; St. Louis, MO; Salt Lake City, UT; Boothbay, ME; and end in Charlevoix, MI, on July 1. In the coming weeks, the show will reveal the historic venues for each event. Three episodes will be created in each city and will eventually air on PBS in 2026.

“I look forward to every new season of Roadshow, but there is something extra special about our Season 30 tour,” said executive producer Marsha Bemko. “Celebrating three decades of making television with people across the country and their treasures as stars of the show is magical — the items might be old, but the stories never are!”

Are you going to try to attend one of these events? Let us know in the comments. New episodes of season 29 of Antiques Roadshow air on Mondays on PBS.
