This Eid falls on the first day of the Islamic month 'Shawwal'. It marks the end of Ramadhan. On this day every Muslim man, woman, young, old, master, slave are supposed to go to the Idgah and offer two rakah of Namaz.

The Prophet (S.A.W.) prescribed Zakat-ul-Fitra that is fast breaking charity as a purification of the fasting person from empty and obscene talk and as food for the poor. If anyone pays it before the Eid prayer, it will be accepted as Zakah and if anybody pays it after the prayer it will be counted as (Ordinary) alms.
(Bulugh-al-maram Hadith No. 507)

There is no Adhan for the Eid prayers.
(Al-Bukhari Vol. II :278)
