International pi day was chosen because it's on March 14 or 3/14 and the first three numbers of pi are 3.14

Larry Shaw, physicist, organized the first pi day in 1988 at the San Francisco Exploratorium. He thought that it would be fun to march around and eat fruit pies.

International Pi Day, celebrated on March 14th (written as 3/14 in the month/day date format), was chosen to celebrate pi because the numerical value of the mathematical constant pi begins with the digits 3.14. This date format resembles the decimal approximation of pi, making it a fun and fitting choice to celebrate this mathematical concept.
