Featuring rides, games, food and more, 10 L.E.A.D. Fest Carnivals will bring wholesome family entertainment to communities in Maryland, Virginia and New Jersey, between May 1 and July 5. Proceeds will benefit L.E.A.D. (Law Enforcement Against Drugs and Violence) and its critical mission, including its antidrug and antiviolence program taught in Maryland Schools.
