The night will be a perfect blending of both worlds… and the Radisson at Our Lucaya is the ideal scene for this year’s Grand Ball. This amazing facility and staff along with the Red Rose Ball Committee members will establish the perfect ambiance for this unique upscale event.

We plan to take you directly into India in fashion, Indian cuisine and a spectacular production number choreographed by Jullion Collie and performed by the students of the Bahamas Dance Theatre.  Soothing dinner music will be provided by Apple Elliott and The Matrix Band will provide music for your dancing pleasure.
