The Discovery Center in Ocala is preparing to host Pi Fest.
The event will take place March 13 at the center, located at 701 N.E. Sanchez Ave., as an early celebration of Pi Day. It is an annual celebration on March 14 for the mathematical symbol Pi (π), which stands for the ratio of a circle’s circumference to its diameter and the infinite number is commonly expressed in decimal form as 3.14.
The Discovery Center will celebrate Pi Fest with Pi-related hands-on activities, pies to eat and even pies to throw. Starting at 3:14 p.m., a pie fight will take place outside of the center. Pie fight participants must check in by 3 p.m. and show a valid Discovery Center admission band. The pie fight will be included with general admission cost of $8 per person.
Pie fight participants are encouraged to remain in familial/social pods, maintain a physical distance of six feet from other pods and wear a face covering during the pie fight. Face coverings are required inside the Discovery Center, which will be open 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. for guests to explore the current Chain Reaction Charlie exhibit.
