One of the most popular events in the Hunter Region is the Surfest, a major surfing competition that takes place every February at Merewether Beach in Newcastle, Australia's second-largest city. Founded in 1985, this annual extravaganza brings together some of the world's best surfers from around the globe to compete in a series of heats and finals, culminating in the crowning of the champions.
