The creators of Bonnaroo just announced a weekend-long food, drink, and music festival to take place in Prospect Park this spring. The company, Superfly Presents, will present a so-called "Amusement Park of food and drink" somewhere in the Park on May 19th and 20th. According to the teaser press release, the festival, called The Great GoogaMooga," will feature local chefs, restaurateurs, purveyors, and wine and beer makers from New York.
There will also be music, so expect the lineup to be leaked somewhere on the Internet within minutes. And since it's in the park, there will be plenty of room to camp and huff nitrous balloons after your face is stuffed! (Prospect Park officially closes at 1 a.m., so camp at your own risk.)
If you're wondering about the name, according to Urban Dictionary the Great Googa Mooga is an "expression of surprise or exasperation. Similar to 'Goodness gracious.' Never a popular saying, but was used sparsely in the 1950s and 1960s. Probably a forerunner of great googly moogly." Daaamn, you gonna take that, Lollapalooza?!
