Colours Boxing Day Rushout

December 2025
Nassau, Bahamas

The Shirley Hall Bass Foundation has established a valued partnership with the British Colonial Hilton Nassau. The historic hotel will support our cultural programming by providing venue space and hospitality for Foundation & Legacy events and performances. During the 2025 Boxing Day Rush, the hotel generously provided facilities for the Choreograph Section of Colours Entertainment Group, offering performers access to preparation spaces before joining the beloved Junkanoo parade. Group leader Christian Justilian and professor of music at the University of The Bahamas helped in the development of our new national performing arts goals. This collaboration reflects our shared commitment to supporting Bahamian cultural traditions and the artists who bring them to life.

Shirley Hall Bass Foundation US, NPO 501(c)(3) preserves the legacy of pioneering performing artist Shirley Hall Bass and in doing so strengthens the connections within the African Diaspora through equitable and accessible performing arts education and programming in The Bahamas, Chicago and beyond.
