🍊 Orange Crush Festival® (OFFICIAL)
SPRING BREAK 2026 — THE TWO-WEEKEND TAKEOVER
Two weekends. One culture. One name that defines Spring Break in the South.
Spring Break 2026 belongs to Orange Crush Festival®—the most recognized, most traveled-for, and most talked-about HBCU Spring Break experience in the country. What began as a historic student tradition has evolved into a two-weekend, professionally structured cultural takeover, pairing legacy energy with a next-level aftermath experience.
This is not just a festival.
This is the rhythm of Spring Break itself.
