Commentary (Tafsir Ibn Kathir)
How Ibrahim broke the IdolsThen Ibrahim swore an oath, which some of his people heard, to plot against their idols, i.e., to break them and destroy them after they had gone away and turned their backs, when they went out to their festival. They had a festival which they would go out to celebrate.
