Preview: Knoxville celebrates Pi Day
Discounts, numbers and pie! Local restaurants and bakeries celebrate Pi Day by offering discounts in the form of a mathematical constant.
Since 1988, the mathematical constant Pi has been celebrated and observed on a national scale. What started out as a group of individuals marching in a circle at an exploratorium and consuming fruit pies, has now turned into shops and bakeries offering special deals in the form of Pi. In previous years, Pi Day has been held on 3.14 as these are the first 3 digits of Archimedes’ constant.
On March 14, select Knoxville restaurants and bakeries will celebrate Pi Day by offering discounted treats to their customers.
These are the shops that are participating.
