Leicester's Eid Festival: Family Fun & Growth

Lester's annual E-Festival returned this weekend for three full days in Victoria Park.

Organized by Lester Community Assist, it ran from Friday March 20th through Sunday, March 22nd.

Families filled the park with fairground rides, bouncy attractions, food stalls, games and sports activities.

The event has grown over the years, expanding from a single day to three to meet demand.

Organizes aim for a safe and close space where kids could play freely without worries.

Attendees raved about the family vibe, noting it felt secure and fun, especially for children on the rides.

One dad mentioned it was a perfect outing, even if the final day seemed a bit quieter than past years.

Event leaders highlighted the no alcohol policy, keeping things calm and welcoming for everyone, regardless of background.

The first hour on opening day focused on prayers for the Muslim community, but the rest stayed open to all.

Financially, the festival now breaks even after costing more than 25,000 pounds to run, marking a big win that supports its future, growth.
