In Arabic Eid means fest. There are 2 main Eid in Islam, I'm not sure which one are u referring to.
Eidul Fithr (Fest of Distribution): This fest is celebrated the very next day after finishing a month of Ramzan fasting. On this day Muslim should destribue “self tax” which as per Indian measurement, 3kg of local grains to the needy. Fasting on this day is prohibited. People also go to each houses in their locality and speak to them and spread happiness across.
Eidul Az’ha (Fest of Sacrifice): This fest is celebrated on 10th of Zul-Hijj month as per hijri calendar. This is celebrated to commemorate the sacrifice of Peophet Ibraheem (a.s). Fasting on this day is also prohibited.
Eid-Ul-Adha, Festival of Sacrifice
Eid ul-Adha or Festival of Sacrifice is in commemoration of the sacrifices of Abraham and his family. All the other Muslims in the world join the hajjis (pilgrims) in Mecca, in celebrating the Eid ul Adha (Festival of Sacrifice), marking the end of the pilgrimage.
On the 10th of Dhul-Hijjah, Muslims around the world wear their nicest clothing and attend a special prayer gathering in the morning. This is followed by a short sermon, after which everyone stands up to hug and greet one another. Next, people visit each other"s homes and partake in festive meals with special dishes, beverages, and desserts. Children receive gifts and sweets on this joyous occasion.
In addition, like the pilgrims in Mecca, those Muslims who can afford to do so offer domestic animals, usually sheep, as a symbol of Abraham"s sacrifice. The meat is distributed for consumption to family, friends, and to the poor and needy.
The Eid ul-Adha is a major religious event in the lives of Muslims. Usually, communities celebrate this occasion over a period of several days.
