Orange Crush Festival® 2026: The Only Official Schedule for Both April Weekends
The original architect of Orange Crush reveals the full two-weekend structure, official cities, and centerpiece events defining Spring Break culture in 2026.
Orange Crush Festival® isn’t something you stumble into — it’s something you follow. Built, protected, and led by its federal trademark owner, Orange Crush Festival® returns in April 2026 with a clear, intentional two-weekend structure that reflects the scale, influence, and longevity of the culture it created.
At the center of it all is Plug Not A Rapper, the cultural architect who took a regional HBCU tradition and turned it into a multi-city movement — one that now spans nightlife, daytime culture, automotive showcases, fitness, fashion, and destination travel.
While others chase headlines, permits, or attention, Orange Crush Festival® continues doing what it has always done best: moving people, defining moments, and unifying weekends.
The Two-Weekend Vision
Orange Crush Festival® 2026 is not a single event — it’s a sequenced cultural experience, intentionally spread across Savannah, Tybee Island, and Allenhurst, Georgia.
Each day serves a purpose. Each city plays a role.
🔶 WEEK 1 — THE HISTORIC WEEKEND
Friday, April 10 — Savannah | Henry Street Bistro
The opening night that sets everything in motion. Savannah’s nightlife energy meets Orange Crush credibility as DJs, artists, influencers, and longtime supporters kick off Spring Break culture the right way.
This night is about familiarity, legacy, and momentum — a reminder that the culture starts where the people are.
Saturday, April 11 — Tybee Island | North Beach Area
Daytime island movement. Culture in the sunlight. Visitors, students, travelers, and community members tapping into the Orange Crush atmosphere without chaos or confusion.
This is where Orange Crush Weekend becomes felt — not staged.
Sunday, April 12 — Allenhurst (if activated)
A regional Sunday reset before Week 2 builds. Outdoor vibes, music, and movement beyond city limits, proving that Orange Crush isn’t confined to one place — it travels with the people.
🔷 WEEK 2 — THE FINALE WEEKEND
Friday, April 17 — Savannah | Henry Street Bistro
Bigger energy. Louder nights. More eyes.
By the second Friday, the culture has already arrived — and this is where it levels up.
Saturday, April 18 — Tybee Island | North Beach Area
Not an announcement — a reality. The Orange Crush Weekend presence is known, controlled, and informed by official channels. Visitors know where to look. Locals know what to expect.
Sunday, April 19 — Allenhurst | 258 Linda Loop SE
CRUSH THE BLOCK x BUNS N BASKETBALL — OFFICIAL FINALE
The moment everything closes under one banner.
Cars. Trucks. Bikes. Jeeps.
Live performances. Poolside energy.
Celebrity basketball. Models. Culture.
✅ The official closing event of Orange Crush Festival® 2026.
Orange Crush Festival® doesn’t follow trends — it sets the itinerary.
And in 2026, the roadmap is crystal clear.
