As one of the South’s most recognized HBCU Spring Break traditions, Orange Crush Festival® is a federally trademarked cultural event, and its 2026 model reflects years of planning & focus

Written By OrangeCrush Tybee

Orange Crush Festival® released its official 2026 two-weekend lineup and programming structure, reaffirming its commitment to safety, authenticity, and cultural legacy amid recent public discussion surrounding permitting and trademark issues.

As one of the South’s most recognized HBCU Spring Break traditions, Orange Crush Festival® is a federally trademarked cultural event, and its 2026 model reflects years of planning focused on sustainability, clarity, and accountability.

Recent news coverage has highlighted permit debates and trademark confusion, including reporting by WSAV and Savannah Morning News

(WSAV,

Savannah Morning News – 2025,

Savannah Morning News – 2014).

In response, Orange Crush Festival® provides this complete, official outline for the 2026 season.

Orange Crush Festival® leadership emphasizes that structure protects culture—it does not suppress it.
