We’re bringing the community together to share our love of pie and discover the stories behind it—its history, cultural meaning, and how it’s changed over time.

This event invites guests to journey through the history of pie—from its ancient origins and global influences to the unique variations that define our local traditions today. Along the way, we’ll explore pie’s cultural significance as a symbol of comfort, celebration, and creativity, learning how it has adapted and transformed through generations. Whether you come to taste, learn, or simply connect, this gathering offers a delicious opportunity to honor the past while savoring the present—and maybe even inspiring the future of pie.
