Spring Fairs and 5Ks Support Causes Nationwide

Communities across the U.S. are celebrating spring with a range of family-friendly festivals and charity runs, many supporting local causes. In New Haven, the Fair Haven Days Parade launches a neighborhood festival with live music, multicultural performances, and resource tables. Kewanee is set to host a Cinco de Mayo festival celebrating Mexican heritage and a superhero-themed 5K to benefit child advocacy. The Shopping Cart Shuffle in Carol Stream, Illinois supports local food pantries, while Carson City’s Walk Us Home 5K raises awareness and funds for foster care. Highland Park's 5K race funds local school PTOs and is followed by a street fair and Earth Day festival. These events blend entertainment, cultural appreciation, and charitable giving to bolster community engagement and social services.
