Tunarama Festival – Australia
This beachside event in Port Lincoln celebrates the local tuna industry… with fish-throwing contests. Yes, the Tunarama Festival is known globally for its Tuna Toss competition, where competitors hurl massive dead tunas as far as possible. That’s not a metaphor—that’s an actual sport.
There are also prawn peeling races, seafood cook-offs, and aquatic-themed pageants. While it began as a tourism booster, the festival now draws international crowds. It’s proudly Australian in the best way—equal parts absurd, celebratory, and slightly fishy. Who knew seafood could fly?
