Savannah is no longer just a stop on the map. From April 10th through April 18th, 2026, the city transforms into a living, breathing celebration of music, culture, and student energy as the Orange Crush Festival® Tour stages its 10-day takeover. Curated and executed under the creative vision of George “Mikey” Ransom Turner III (Party Plug Mikey / Plug Not A Rapper™), this is more than a festival — it’s a citywide cultural phenomenon with international buzz, HBCU engagement, and 50+ years of Orange Crush® influence on party and music culture behind it.

Phase 1: Ignition — April 10–11

April 10 — College vs Karaoke: BACP vs BAKP

At Henry St Bistro (1308 Montgomery St, Savannah, GA), the festival ignites with an electric kickoff.

College crews, student organizations, and local personalities face off in a high-stakes, high-energy musical showdown, creating moments primed for viral capture.

This isn’t just a party; it’s a lesson in cultural curation. Party Plug Mikey ensures that every song, every DJ drop, and every performance aligns with his vision of college energy fused with festival-level production, proving why the Orange Crush Festival® brand is trademarked and globally recognized (USPTO #90632925).
