The London Ontario Live Arts Festival also known as LOLA fest, took place every year in London, Ontario Canada, the third week of September, in its downtown core from 2007 to 2010. The festival was not a music festival but a hugely imaginative live arts festival from well-known and emerging artists. The impact of immense projections, interactive drama, acclaimed musical and dance performances, and the involvement of major organizations from around the country, including extensive municipal support create a truly unique event with great artistic impact to its community. For example, LOLA 2007 featured Brian Eno's Canadian Premiere of 77 Million Paintings.

The festival got its start as a one-day street festival in 2006 and expanded to the three day format in 2007. LOLA 2007 and LOLA 2008 were curated by Ian Doig Phaneuf (music) and Paul Walde (visual art).

As of 2011 the LOLA festival is "on hiatus".[1]
