Things to Look Forward to:
-Boathouse: A 1905 Beaux Arts edifice that takes guests on a time warp to New York in the 1920s. The boathouse offers an oyster shell shuck-off, catered by The John Dory Oyster Bar.
-Pagoda Stage: This 1888 historical landmark is the stage where the musical performances will be held. On Sunday, Big Gay Ice Cream will be holding a Disco Party on the stage with corresponding flavors.
-Spiegel Tent: The tent is dedicated entirely to, yes, alcohol. With champagne, wine, and beer tastings, the Spiegel Tent will have events hosted by Julie Reiner, Garrett Oliver, Kristen Schaal, and more.
-Kitchen Theater Tent: Focusing only on food, this tent features events hosted by Michael Anthony, Tom Mylan, Kate Krader, Marc Maron, and more.
-GoogaMooga Music Line-up? Okay, so they've been pretty stingy on revealing the line-up; however, word on the street is that they will be releasing the full line-up soon.
Booze, food, and music... can it just be summer already? If you haven't gotten your free tickets for The Great GoogaMooga Festival, go HERE.
