Whether you’re paying homage to the Great GoogaMooga or showing some local pride on 5th Ave, South Slope is the place to be this weekend. Check out our top picks.

**[Movies at the Pavilion ](http://www.paviliontheater.com/?ref=bklyner.com)**  
**When: T**hursday, Friday, Saturday and Sunday  
**Where: 1**88 Prospect Park West at 14th Street  
**What:** Want to avoid the inevitable GoogaMooga/Brooklyn Half/Fabulous 5th crowds that will be descending on our community this weekend, but feeling trapped because the F and G are both going to be wonky? Take in a movie at the Pavilion. In addition to [Peeples](http://www.imdb.com/title/tt1699755/?ref=bklyner.com), [Iron Man 3](http://www.imdb.com/title/tt1300854/?ref=bklyner.com), and [42](http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0453562/?ref%5F=fn%5Fal%5Ftt%5F1&ref=bklyner.com), [Star Trek](http://www.imdb.com/title/tt1408101/?ref%5F=sr%5F1&ref=bklyner.com) and [The Great Gatsby](http://www.imdb.com/title/tt1343092/?ref%5F=fn%5Fal%5Ftt%5F1&ref=bklyner.com) are both playing.  
**How much:** All shows before 4:00pm are $8.00 (no matinee pricing on Sundays). Shows after 4pm are $11 for adults and $8 for seniors (62+) and children (12 and under). All 3D films are an additional $3.

[**Great GoogaMooga**](http://brooklyn.googamooga.com/?ref=bklyner.com)  
**When:** Kickoff Concert: Friday, May 17 from 4pm to 10pm, Weekend festival: Saturday, May 18 and Sunday, 19 from 11am to 8pm  
**Where:** Prospect Park  
**What:** You know the drill by now. Music, food, lines, and GoogaMooga minions.  
**How much:** Tickets for the kickoff concert [are available](http://brooklyn.googamooga.com/tickets/?ref=bklyner.com) for $54.50 a pop, but you’re probably out of luck if you’re still trying to score a free weekend ticket. That said, there appear to be a million and a half New Yorkers on [Craigslist](http://newyork.craigslist.org/search/?areaID=3&subAreaID=&query=googamooga&catAbb=sss&ref=bklyner.com) trying to sell their GoogaMooga passes if you can’t live without one.
