Before its last-minute cancellation on the third day of festivities, the GoogaMooga food and music festival in Prospect Park this weekend appeared to have planned for every possible logistical challenge.

But after organizers and park officials deemed Sunday's stormy conditions unsafe to the grounds and cancelled Day Three, participating restaurant owners and festival-goers alike were left with time lost, countless perishables wasted and a sour after-taste.
Superfly Presents, the event organizer, has already vowed to refund ticket holders and to work with vendors who suffered a profit loss. But the future of the young festival is now uncertain.
