It's time to plan a mid-winter escape to the Queenstown Winter Festival, which runs July 1-10.
The Festival Opening Party on July 2 lights up Queenstown Bay with a brilliant fireworks display, heralding the start of dozens of events both on and off the slopes. More than 30 bands provide everything from smooth jazz to rock and reggae.
There's a Mardi Gras, the glamorous Snow Ball and plenty of free entertainment.
Tickets for special events can be bought from early May, either on-line or over the phone.
