Surfest

The Airport has continued its long-term support of Surfest into 2010. The event to be held at Merewether Beach, from 2 to14 March, is Australia’s largest professional surfing event. Over two weeks, spectators can enjoy great surfing action and other cultural events, such as a food and wine festival, and art and photo exhibitions.

2010 marks the 25th anniversary of Surfest and will this year attract more than 650 competitors from Australia and around the world. Newcastle Airport is proud to sponsor this flag-ship local event.

This year, look out for Newcastle Airport’s very own street artist who will be decorating the concrete around the Merewether Club House with an Airport-themed masterpiece.
