August 31, there is an interesting day called Eat Outside Day. The day is created to inspire us to eat something in the fresh air with a touch of pure nature. This is not a new idea. Our ancient forefathers grew up in nature and they cooked and ate there. Everything was natural. But we are growing up in a realistic world. Where we have many luxurious items to enjoy our life, yet we are not happy.
Actually, we have an inner attraction to open fresh air which we have got from our ancestors who lived in a jungle that was surrounded by nature. Eating in fresh and open-air gives a wonderful feeling. So let’s go to know how we may celebrate this exceptional day.

History Of Eat Outside Day
There is a long history of eating outside. Ancient people are totally dependent on hunting. Even medieval period hunting was a big source of meat. So eating outside was a common thing. In the time of the French Revolution in 1789, the former Royal Parks were opened to the public, and people used them for socializing, bringing food to share, and enjoying it together. At a similar time, pleasure gardens were created in the U.S. These were private spaces where a family could walk, play any outdoor games, and enjoy a meal. Eating at a park or garden becomes very popular in our modern age.
After the Second World War, our world becomes globalized and you can now easily and quickly travel to any interesting place with your family and even you can arrange a BBQ party. The Eat Outside Day is celebrated on August 31, because at that time the weather is suitable for enjoying this day.
These Suggestions and Tips May Help You
When It Is Raining
If it’s raining you can still eat outside but do so undercover with a gazebo or tent that will let you enjoy the great outdoors whilst shielding you from the rain.
Be Light and Use Finger Food
If you’re picnicking, then we suggest finger food to save using disposable plates and cutlery.
Choose Public Place
You can picnic on public lands, like parks and the countryside. You need permission for private land, such as farmers’ fields and private estates and gardens.

Interesting Facts about Picnics
To enjoy the actual taste of the Eat Outside Day you should go for a hunt in the jungle. It would be more enjoyable and adventurous. But it is not very easy to go hunting because of many restrictions. So you can take another alternative and that is arranging a picnic to enjoy the day. Now I am sharing some interesting facts about picnics below.
You can picnic and protest
In 1989, the Pan-European Picnic was organized on both sides of the Hungarian/Austrian border as part of the fight for German reunification.
The teddy bears didn’t picnic at first
The children’s song, ‘The Teddy Bear’s Picnic’ was originally called ‘The Teddy Bear’s Two-Step’ when it was composed in 1907, but changed when the lyrics were added later, in 1930.
Robin Hood loved to picnic
One of the earliest accounts of picnicking comes from the stories of Robin Hood, in which Robin and his band of Merry Men would eat bread, cheese, and beer in the forest.
They’re important in Australian literature
Considered by critics to be one of Australia’s best novels, “Picnic at Hanging Rock” centers around the unresolved mystery of a missing girl — author Joan Lindsay’s original draft resolved the mystery with the suggestion of a time warp, but that chapter was removed before publication.
They weren’t always outside
Originally, picnics took place inside, with the distinction from a dinner party being that all guests brought a dish for everyone to share.
