"The organisers of the Carnaval Del Pueblo apologise but due to unforeseen circumstances with the London Pleasure Gardens going into administration on Monday August 6th, this year's hugely popular event has had to be cancelled, as have all events at the LPG."
The event was set to feature an International stage, Brazilian stage, Andean countries stage, Reggaeton and Latin Hip Hop stage, Funfair, Children's area, a wide range of Latin American, Caribbean and Western food and drinks, traditional crafts and Authentic Latin carnival spirit all around.
