CRUSH isn’t waiting for summer.

The next CRUSH season begins this fall and keeps moving.

CRUSH COMES HOME: SAVANNAH STATE HOMECOMING IS PERSONAL 🍊

CRUSH Magazine | Homecoming 2026 | Savannah, Georgia

Atlanta introduces the season.

Athens keeps it moving.

The AUC raises the temperature.

But Savannah is different.

On October 16–17, the CRUSH 2026–2027 Season Tour comes to Savannah during Savannah State’s Homecoming celebration.

For CRUSH, this isn’t simply another city on the schedule.

This is home.

CRUSH AND SAVANNAH

Before the festivals expanded.

Before the magazine.

Before CRUSH became an ecosystem connecting music, media, models, merchandise and live experiences.

There was Savannah.

CRUSH carries pieces of the city everywhere it goes: the coastal culture, the personalities, the parties, the relationships and the unmistakable energy of Southeast Georgia.

So when the Homecoming Tour reaches Savannah, the story changes.

CRUSH isn’t introducing itself to a new market.

CRUSH is returning to one of the places that helped create it.

SAVANNAH STATE HOMECOMING

Savannah State University has announced its 2026 Homecoming celebration for October 11–18, making CRUSH’s October 16–17 activation part of the closing weekend surrounding the celebration. Savannah State Homecoming⁠

Homecoming brings generations together.

Current students.

Alumni.

Savannah natives.

Visitors.

Families.

Artists.

Entrepreneurs.

Models.

Creators.

People who haven’t seen each other since the last Homecoming.

That’s what makes the weekend valuable to CRUSH Magazine.

We’re not only interested in covering what’s scheduled.

We want to capture what happens around it.

THE CITY BECOMES THE MAGAZINE

Savannah itself should become part of the editorial.

The campus.

The tailgates.

The fits.

The cars.

The food.

The parties.

The artists.

The models.

The alumni.

The neighborhoods.

The conversations.

The people everybody in Savannah seems to know.

CRUSH Magazine wants this coverage to feel unmistakably Savannah—not like content that could have been photographed in any city in America.

Because Savannah has its own visual language.

And Homecoming brings it all outside at once.

FIND THE NEXT FACE OF CRUSH MAGAZINE

This stop also creates an opportunity to find new faces.

CRUSH Magazine wants models, artists, photographers, personalities, entrepreneurs and creators who belong in future features.

Someone photographed during Homecoming shouldn’t necessarily disappear after one Instagram post.

That image could become a magazine feature.

An interview could become an artist spotlight.

A model discovered during the weekend could appear in a future CRUSH campaign.

A business owner could become part of a Savannah entrepreneur feature.

The content should create opportunities after the weekend ends.

FROM SAVANNAH TO THE CRUSH WORLD

Savannah also represents something larger in the CRUSH map.

The city connects naturally to Tybee Island, where the 2027 season returns to the coast in April.

That gives CRUSH an opportunity to tell a continuing story:

Savannah in the fall.

Tybee in the spring.

Homecoming culture becomes coastal festival culture.

Students become alumni.

Models become magazine personalities.

Artists become performers.

Content becomes history.

And one weekend becomes part of a much larger CRUSH archive.

THIS ONE MEANS MORE

Every stop matters.

But every stop doesn’t have to mean the same thing.

Savannah represents roots.

It represents relationships.

It represents history.

It represents the people who knew CRUSH before the rest of the world did.

So October 16–17 isn’t simply another pin on the tour map.

It’s the homecoming inside the Homecoming Tour.

Savannah, we’re coming home.
