Opening entertainment on stage got the crowd into the spirit during burlesque-themed Queenstown Winter Festival Ball in 2011.

After taking a break from the festival calendar in 2012, the glamour event of the 10-day party will make a return this year.

Festival director Lisa Buckingham said the Casino Royale Ball was scheduled for June 22 at the Queenstown Memorial Centre.

The entertainment line-up was yet to be announced, but Ms Buckingham advised people to ''dust off their dancing shoes and get ready to celebrate in style''.

Included in the $149 ticket price is a three-course meal with Gibbston Valley wines.
