PIEDMONT HEIGHTS ALLIANCE ANNOUNCES BIGGER AND BETTER PIHI DAY 2026
Posted by Liz and John Attaway, 3/4/26
Annual community clean-up and “Pie-Off” to support local businesses will take place on March 14
The PiHi Alliance, in partnership with the Piedmont Heights Civic Association, is excited to announce the return of the annual PiHi Day celebration on Saturday, March 14, 2026. In honor of National Pi Day, this year’s event will feature an expanded schedule, including the “Beautify PiHi” community clean-up and the highly anticipated “PiHi Day Pie-Off” to engage residents and support the neighborhood’s vibrant commercial districts. The event is proudly sponsored by Selig Enterprises, Nakato Japanese Restaurant and supported by Ansley Golf Course.
The day begins with “Beautify PiHi”, a 2-mile community clean-up effort focused around Selig’s Ansley Mall (1544 Piedmont Ave NE, Atlanta GA 30324) and the Eastside Trail of the Atlanta BeltLine, including the new pedestrian bridge connecting Ansley Mall directly to the BeltLine. Volunteers will gather to collect trash and show their commitment to the neighborhood and its small businesses. This year’s effort builds on the success of the previous year, where over 75 volunteers collected more than 50 full bags of trash.
- Beautify PiHi: Saturday March 14, 2026 | 9:30 a.m. – Noon
- Breakfast, coffee, and all clean-up equipment will be supplied.
- Volunteers can sign up at pihialliance.com/Beautify-PiHi.
Following the clean-up, the focus shifts to the “PiHi Day Pie-Off,” which aims to establish Piedmont Heights as the “Pie Capital of Atlanta.” This delicious and low-effort initiative encourages the community to support local restaurants.
