Hundreds of worshippers gathered at the Forest Recreation Ground on Monday as Nottingham's Muslim community celebrated the end of Ramadan.
Eid in the Park, now in its fifth year, was organised by the Karimia Institute, which is based at the Bobbersmill Community Centre in Nottingham.
Crowds gathered at 9am and 10am for prayer services. These were interspersed with talks from Dr Musharraf Hussain, chief imam of Karimia.
An ice cream van was also on hand to provide refreshment as Muslims celebrated after a month of fasting.
"Ramadan is like a spiritual MOT," said Ghufran Shah, 40, an IT entrepreneur from Wollaton.
"It's a time of fasting and reflection, a time when we think of people less fortunate than ourselves."
"The challenge is to continue showing compassion and care now Ramadan is over," added Mr Shah.
800 people were reported to have attended the 9am service and around 1200 were expected to attend the 10am prayers.
"Everything has gone perfectly," said Ajaz Hussain, 35, Karimia's fundraising manager who coordinated the event.
"I've been here since 6am with a team of 20 volunteers sorting out the flooring and setting up the sound system. Without the volunteers, nothing could have happened," said Mr Hussain, who lives in The Meadows.
In his address, Dr Hussain congratulated the community for the commitment they had shown during Ramadan, which requires Muslims to fast from food and drink during daylight hours.
He also praised their generosity in giving to charity.
"The people are very generous. During Ramadan, Karimia has raised £100,000. This has all come from working-class people," said Dr Hussain, who is affectionately known by congregation members as the 'Good Doctor'.
Dr Hussain also exhorted the community to be good citizens and continue contributing to the city of Nottingham.
"I think that the Muslim community can bring family values to Nottingham," said Dr Hussain. "Muslims are people of family, who respect their elders and children."
"Moral and spiritual values can be lost in today's consumerist society. Yet we as Muslims are still practising the values which, I think, made Britain into a great empire: patience, compassion, courage, and devotion to the good of others."
"At Karimia, we encourage our members to adopt these values," he added.
