CRUSH ANNOUNCES 2026–2027 SEASON TOUR: FROM HOMECOMING TO JUNETEENTH

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.

The journey begins in Georgia with stops surrounding Homecoming season in Atlanta, Athens, Savannah and Statesboro before CRUSH Network Studios brings the movement to Jacksonville for Halloween CRUSH Bonfire.

Then the temperature changes.

Spring 2027 takes CRUSH south to Miami before returning to Tybee Island in April, Atlanta for Memorial Day weekend and Jacksonville for Juneteenth.

Different cities. Different weekends. One CRUSH season.

THE AUC MEETS CRUSH: MOREHOUSE + SPELMAN HOMECOMING WEEKEND 🍊

CRUSH Magazine | Homecoming 2026 | Atlanta, Georgia

CRUSH is coming back to Atlanta.

But this time, the destination is different.

After opening the season at Georgia State and traveling to Athens, CRUSH Festival × CRUSH Magazine heads into Atlanta’s historic AUC for October 9–10, surrounding the energy of Morehouse and Spelman Homecoming.

Two institutions.

One legendary college community.

And an entirely different chapter of the CRUSH Homecoming Tour.

THIS IS BIGGER THAN ANOTHER COLLEGE WEEKEND

The Atlanta University Center occupies a special place in Black college culture.

Morehouse College and Spelman College sit within a historic academic community whose influence reaches far beyond Atlanta.

Morehouse’s official 2026 Homecoming schedule runs October 7–11, with Market Friday and the Yard Show scheduled for October 9 and Saturday activities on October 10.

That makes this stop about more than showing up.

CRUSH Magazine wants to document the people, style, creativity, entrepreneurship, music and culture surrounding the weekend.

MOREHOUSE × SPELMAN × ATLANTA

There are certain weekends when Atlanta feels like everybody came home at once.

Homecoming is one of them.

Current students mix with alumni.

Old friends reconnect.

Entrepreneurs activate.

Artists perform.

Photographers work.

Models create.

Brands show up.

Fashion becomes competition without anybody officially declaring a winner.

And the entire city becomes part of the experience.

For CRUSH Magazine, that’s exactly the environment worth documenting.

FIND THE PEOPLE BEFORE EVERYBODY KNOWS THEIR NAMES

CRUSH Magazine isn’t only interested in established names.

We’re looking for who’s next.

The artist performing for 50 people today who could be performing for 5,000 tomorrow.

The model building her first serious portfolio.

The student turning an idea into a company.

The designer everybody keeps asking about.

The photographer creating images that define the weekend.

The personality who somehow knows everybody.

Homecoming puts thousands of stories in the same place.

Our job is to find them.

THE FASHION IS PART OF THE STORY

Homecoming style deserves its own coverage.

Not simply what somebody wore, but how people choose to represent themselves when they return home.

Streetwear.

Luxury.

Vintage.

Custom pieces.

School pride.

Statement looks.

Individual style.

The AUC provides a natural runway without needing an actual runway.

CRUSH Magazine intends to capture it.

CRUSH RETURNS TO ATLANTA DIFFERENTLY

This is already CRUSH’s second Atlanta chapter of October.

But repetition isn’t the objective.

Georgia State represents one side of the city.

The AUC represents another.

Later, CRUSH returns again for Memorial Day Weekend 2027.

Each experience gives the magazine a different opportunity to document Atlanta culture.

That’s how a tour becomes something larger than a collection of dates.

Every stop adds another piece to the world.

TWO DAYS IN THE AUC

October 9.

October 10.

Morehouse.

Spelman.

Atlanta.

CRUSH.

The cameras should be everywhere.

The magazine should be talking to people.

The models should be creating.

The artists should be heard.

The entrepreneurs should be introduced.

And when everybody goes home, the weekend shouldn’t disappear into somebody’s camera roll.

CRUSH Magazine is here to document it.
