Superfly Presents is excited to announce the music line up for The Great GoogaMooga, the highly anticipated food, drink and music festival set to take place in Brooklyn’s Prospect Park on May 19-20, 2012.

Spanning across the park’s Nethermead area and making for the ultimate sensory experience, GoogaMooga will host approximately 75 restaurants & vendors, 35 brewers, and 100 wines. Helping to power the food experience, Googamooga is excited to announce a special partnership with Seamless, the nation’s leading mobile and online service for ordering delivery and takeout food. Through the partnership, Seamless will power the festival’s online restaurant pages, host culinary & technology panels onsite within Googamooga’s Restaurant 101 stage, and bring their Craved Awards to Googamooga, giving guests a chance to vote for their favorite festival dishes.

General Admission at GoogaMooga is free but attendees must register to obtain a ticket to the event; concessions in General Admission are priced individually. With Extra Mooga, GoogaMooga’s all-inclusive paid ticketed experience, guests have exclusive viewing of the Main Stage shows and access to 20 different events per day, ranging from music to comedy, culinary seminars, cocktail demos, wine and beer tastings and theme parties.
