Put on your "beige iridescent lipstick" and get ready for a "Dirty Dancing" festival like no other. 

The event, which takes place on Aug. 16 and 17, should offer enough opportunity to learn fun lifts and turns at the Pembroke, Virginia, resort where the popular movie "Dirty Dancing" was filmed. 

The real name of the resort is Mountain Lake Lodge — but for a generation of film fans, it'll always be "Kellerman's."

HELEN KELLER'S BIRTHPLACE, IVY GREEN, IS KEY TRAVEL DESTINATION FOR FANS OF 'THE MIRACLE WORKER'

Tickets cost $75. The travel experience offers fans a way to "step back in time without being an overnight guest at the resort," Heidi Stone, president and CEO of Mountain Lake Lodge, told Fox News Digital.

"Before there were 'Swifties,' there was the 'Dirty Dancing' super fan," she also said.

Lovers of the classic film "Dirty Dancing" now have the opportunity to learn all of Johnny and Baby's lifts and turns at a two-day festival in Virginia.

"The demand for immersive ‘Dirty Dancing’ experiences is bigger than ever," she said. 

"It is incredibly nostalgic for fans to be able to experience not just a movie set, but a real place, complete with Baby’s Cabin, the infamous gazebo and many more filming locations."

Stone added, "And, yes, we have watermelons, lots of watermelons for fans to carry."

Watermelon racing is on the festival itinerary, but Stone pointed out that the live music, dancing lessons and dance competition are some of the true highlights. 

The fictional Kellerman's resort was supposedly located in the Catskill Mountains of New York.

The real-life Mountain Lake Lodge that provided much of the movie's backdrop is located in the Appalachian Mountains of southwest Virginia. 

The resort underwent an extensive renovation that was completed in 2017.
