THE LEAD FEATURE
THE RENAISSANCE OF ORANGE CRUSH
Where Music, Movement, Influence & Black Travel Culture Collide
For 30+ years, Orange Crush has symbolized freedom, expression, college life, and beach culture for Black students and young adults across the South.
In 2026, it becomes something more powerful:
A national festival movement curated by a single visionary who has lived every part of its legacy — and now controls its future.
George Turner isn’t just building weekends.
He’s building a touring franchise, a media property, and a music-driven lifestyle brand that links Miami’s luxury scene with Georgia’s historic Spring Break tradition.
