🔶 ORANGE CRUSH Festival® WEEK 1: The Official Historic Orange Crush Festival® Weekend (April 10–12) — Permit Application Filed & Submitted for April 11th 2026 on Tybee Island
The federal trademark owner of Orange Crush Festival® has officially submitted the permit application for April 10–12, 2026, the historic and original Orange Crush® weekend that has defined HBCU Spring Break travel for more than a decade.
This weekend — April 10–12 — is the true, documented, and culturally verified Orange Crush® Spring Break date. Even in years when no permit was granted, the region, the students, the alumni, and the travel patterns consistently centered on this exact weekend.
Why April 10–12 Is the Official Historic Weekend
It is the oldest, most recognized, and most documented Orange Crush® Spring Break timeframe.
It predates every imitator, every attempt to hijack the name, and every unofficial promoter.
It reflects the real travel dates used by HBCUs across Georgia, Florida, South Carolina, Alabama, and beyond.
It is anchored in regional culture, not commercial imitation.
2026 Permit Application Submitted
For the first time in years, the historic Orange Crush® weekend is being formally brought into a fully permitted, coordinated, and city-aligned format by the actual federal trademark owner — not by outside groups, unauthorized promoters, or imitators.
This ensures:
Clear public safety planning
Accurate city coordination
Transparent operations
Verified branding & advertising
Trademark-compliant promotion
Authentic cultural representation
