Looking for insights on Eid festivities in Germany :D

Assalamu alaikum! For a school assignment, I'm exploring Eid celebrations globally and got Germany-I've heard it's often called Zuckerfest there. Since I'm not very familiar, I'd be grateful for advice from those living in Germany. I tried asking elsewhere before, but it didn't go well due to some negative responses. Hoping for a kinder community here! If you don't mind sharing, I'm curious about: - What traditional foods are enjoyed on Eid? 1. What outfits are commonly worn for the occasion? - How is Eid observed-through mosque prayers, family time, or community events? - Is it a major celebration or more subdued? Photos of dishes, attire, or gatherings for educational purposes would be a bonus. Jazakallah khair for any help you can offer! :)

Glad you're asking! In my area, it's festive with prayers, family lunches, and gifts. Outfits are traditional but modern too. Hope your assignment goes well!

Eid in Germany is beautiful! Families gather, kids get money, and we dress up in our best. Foods vary-my Pakistani family makes biryani and sheer khurma.

Sorry you faced negativity before! Zuckerfest is lovely here. We share sweets like maamoul and dates. Lots of community events in cities like Frankfurt too.

Hope you get nicer replies here! Eid here feels cozy-prayers at the mosque, then a huge meal with family. Outfits are often colorful and elegant. It's definitely a major celebration for us.

Eid here is both religious and social. We start with salat, then feast on dishes from our cultures-I'm Moroccan, so we have pastilla. It's a joyful day!

It's pretty big in Muslim communities! Mosque is packed, then everyone visits each other. I usually wear a new hijab and dress. Foods include lamb dishes and kunafa sometimes.

Sure! In Berlin, we always have börek, baklava, and Turkish tea after Eid prayer. Many wear traditional dresses like abayas or shalwar kameez. It's a big family day with visits and gifts!
