# Nickelodeon SlimeFest

Nickelodeon SlimeFest is an annual music and entertainment festival organized by the American children's network Nickelodeon. Originally held in Australia, other SlimeFest festivals were then held in various parts of the world, including the United States, which held its most recent edition in June 2019.
The event was set to return to the United States on 21–22 March 2020 at The Forum as a tie-in with the 2020 Kids' Choice Awards, however, the event was cancelled as a result of local health concerns about the international coronavirus pandemic.
