Mother Nature couldn’t mooga three days in a row.
Sunday’s downpour canceled the final day of the Great Googa Mooga Festival. Organizers of the food and music event apologized for the last second change, which they said was for safety concerns, and promised ticket holders they’d get their money back.
“All Sunday VIP ticket purchases will be refunded in full,” a spokeswoman said.
Despite the cancellation, the festival had fewer problems in its second year with thousands entering Prospect Park on Friday and Saturday to check out several acts, including the Yeah Yeah Yeahs, and feast on dozens of food options.
Last year huge crowds and excessive heat caused numerous problems for people who checked out the festival, prompting organizers to make the event ticketed.
