How Orange Crush® Turns Cities, Colleges & Nightlife Into One Non-Stop Elite Black Travel Experience

Crush Magazine

Orange Crush® isn’t just where people party.

It’s how Black nightlife travels.

Spring–Summer 2026 isn’t about one night, one club, or one crowd. It’s about beaches at noon, pool parties at sunset, clubs till sunrise, car shows in the streets, and yachts on the water—with college students, Greeks, military service members, creatives, and culture movers all moving together.

This is what happens when Black population centers + college ecosystems + nightlife culture are aligned on purpose.
