CRUSH isn’t waiting for summer.

The next CRUSH season begins this fall and keeps moving.

CRUSH Festival and CRUSH Magazine are launching a 2026–2027 run connecting college homecomings, Halloween, spring break, festival culture and some of the South’s most important celebration weekends across one season.

CRUSH TAKES ATLANTA: GEORGIA STATE KICKS OFF THE 2026 HOMECOMING RUN 🍊

CRUSH Magazine | Homecoming 2026 | Atlanta, Georgia

The road starts in Atlanta.

On Friday, October 2, 2026, CRUSH brings the opening stop of its 2026–2027 Season Tour into the city as Georgia State celebrates Homecoming.

And the timing couldn’t be better.

Georgia State’s official 2026 Homecoming runs September 28 through October 3, continuing a university tradition that dates to 1916. Friday is one of the biggest days of the week: the official Homecoming Parade begins at noon in Downtown Atlanta, followed by the Homecoming Block Party from 7–11 p.m. at Unity Plaza. 

For CRUSH, it’s the beginning of something much bigger.

ATLANTA IS STOP ONE

This isn’t the end-of-season celebration.

It’s Day One.

October launches a run that will carry CRUSH through college culture across Georgia before transitioning into Halloween, spring break and the 2027 festival season.

Atlanta gets the first look.

CRUSH Magazine will be approaching Homecoming through the lens that defines the brand:

Music. Fashion. Models. Campus culture. Personalities. Parties. Visuals. Media.

The objective isn’t simply to show that CRUSH was in Atlanta.

It’s to capture what Atlanta felt like during Homecoming.

OCTOBER 2 IS BUILT FOR CONTENT

Georgia State’s Friday schedule creates an entire day of activity.

The Homecoming Parade begins at noon in Downtown Atlanta, with student organizations and university departments participating through floats, vehicles, golf carts and walking groups. 

Then Atlanta gets another wave of energy that night.

From 7–11 p.m., Unity Plaza hosts Georgia State’s official Homecoming Block Party, featuring a live DJ, food trucks, carnival games and other attractions. 

That makes October 2 more than another date on the CRUSH calendar.

It gives CRUSH Magazine an opportunity to document the city from daylight into nightlife.

THE PEOPLE ARE THE STORY

The best Homecoming coverage isn’t just pictures of buildings.

It’s people.

Who came home?

Who had the best fit?

Who is making music?

Who is building a business?

Who is modeling?

Who has everybody talking?

Who represents the next generation of Atlanta culture?

Those are the stories CRUSH Magazine wants to find.

The cameras shouldn’t only point toward the biggest attraction.

Sometimes the person standing beside you becomes the story.

ATLANTA THROUGH THE CRUSH LENS

Atlanta occupies a unique place in the CRUSH 2026–2027 map.

CRUSH begins its October run here.

Then it returns to Atlanta for the Morehouse + Spelman weekend October 9–10.

And after winter, Atlanta appears on the schedule again for Memorial Day Weekend 2027.

Three moments.

One market.

Different audiences.

That makes Atlanta more than a tour stop.

It’s one of the recurring cities in the CRUSH season.

HOMECOMING IS ONLY THE BEGINNING

After Atlanta comes Athens.

Then another Atlanta weekend.

Then Savannah.

Jacksonville.

Statesboro.

And eventually Miami, Tybee Island, Atlanta again and Jacksonville for Juneteenth.

But every season needs a first chapter.

October 2 is ours.

Atlanta opens the road.

Georgia State provides the Homecoming backdrop.

CRUSH Magazine brings the cameras.

And the 2026–2027 CRUSH Season officially begins.
