Nickelodeon SlimeFest is an annual music and entertainment festival organized by the American children's network Nickelodeon.[1] 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.[2]
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,[3] however, the event was cancelled as a result of local health concerns about the international coronavirus pandemic.[4]
