    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pi_Day

    Pi Day is an annual celebration of the mathematical constant π (pi). Pi Day is observed on March 14 (the 3rd month) since 3, 1, and 4 are the first three significant figures of π, and was first celebrated in the United States. [2][3] It was founded in 1988 by Larry Shaw, an employee of a science museum in San Francisco, the Exploratorium.
