Still scared of math? Well, no significant math skills are needed when you join Niles Pie Company for Pi Day. But just in case you’re interested, here’s a refresher: pi = 3.14159… More importantly, for the moment, is the fact that Pi Day is always on 3/14. This year, however, we have a High Pi Day, since it’s 3/14/15. Visit the Niles Pie shop in Union City or the new Niles Farmers’ Market in Fremont on March 14 for pi-related fun including prizes for reciting pi to the furthest digit. Niles Pie Company also hosts a Jazz & Pi Dinner featuring live music plus savory pot pies, empanadas, Shaker Lemon Pie, Double Chocolate Pie, and more. Info: here.

Jazz & Pi Dinner
Saturday March 14, 6–8pm
