ORANGE CRUSH FESTIVAL® 2026: THE OFFICIAL CULTURAL SEASON RETURNS—TWO WEEKENDS, ONE STANDARD.FUN.
When a cultural movement reaches national recognition, the narrative matters as much as the music. Orange Crush Festival 2026 isn’t just back—it’s been rebuilt with intention, designed to protect the culture, elevate the experience, and deliver a Spring Break season that finishes as strong as it starts.
Two weekends. Three Georgia locations. One unified vision.
This is the definitive version of Orange Crush—organized, official, and unmistakably authentic.
WHY 2026 IS DIFFERENT
Orange Crush 2026 introduces a seasonal model that honors tradition while solving the challenges that come with growth. Instead of forcing every moment into a single pressure point, the festival unfolds across two complementary weekends, each curated with its own energy, purpose, and pace.
The result: better flow, clearer expectations, and a bigger experience—without sacrificing the roots.
WEEK 1 — THE HISTORIC WEEKEND
April 9–13, 2026 | Savannah & Tybee Island
Week 1 is the origin story in motion—the weekend that built the legacy.
Friday: Official Savannah kickoff nights set the tone with packed rooms, DJs, and reunion energy.
Saturday (Day): The iconic Free Public Beach Bash takes over Tybee Island—sun, sound, and shoreline culture in its purest form.
Saturday (Night): Savannah turns up for the main event, delivering the late-night moments people talk about all year.
Week 1 is fast, loud, and unforgettable. It’s tradition—compressed and electric.
WEEK 2 — THE FINALE WEEKEND
April 16–19, 2026 | Savannah • Tybee Island • Allenhurst
Week 2 is the elevation—the weekend that closes Spring Break with purpose.
Thursday: Crush The Mic launches the second act—artist showcases and discovery in Savannah.
Friday: Curated nightlife keeps momentum high as the city reloads.
Saturday (Day): The Free Public Beach Bash returns to Tybee Island, because legacy still matters.
Sunday: CRUSH THE BLOCK—an all-day, festival-scale finale in Allenhurst.
Crush The Block delivers what Spring Break has rarely had: a real ending. Music, celebrity moments, a car/bike/Jeep/truck showcase, pool activations, a celebrity basketball game with dunk contests, crowd competitions, motorsports experiences, vendors, and VIP zones—all designed to keep energy high and movement flowing from morning to night.
Week 2 expands the canvas and finishes the season strong.
STRUCTURE THAT PROTECTS THE FUN
2026 isn’t about restriction—it’s about design. By separating daytime and nighttime energy, distributing crowds across locations, and anchoring high-density moments in purpose-built environments, Orange Crush delivers a safer, smoother experience without changing the vibe.
The culture stays free. The experience gets smarter.
OFFICIAL MEANS ACCOUNTABLE

From the first Friday night in Savannah to the final sunset in Allenhurst, Orange Crush Festival® 2026 delivers a Spring Break season that honors legacy, elevates experience, and sets the standard for what comes next.
