No Children's Festival in 2011

There will be no London International Children's Festival this year.
"Festival operations are closed," states an announcement posted on the organization's website.
The site says the decision was made "as a result of changing business, fiscal entertainment and community landscape that no longer makes the Children's Festival a viable option for London and surrounding area."
Once a four-day party, the festival scaled back to three days in recent years.
