The Official Orange Crush® 2026 Weekend Returns April 9–13: @iCportSavannah

By CRUSH Magazine™ | @iCportSavannah

For decades, Orange Crush® Weekend has been a cultural beacon for HBCUs, Southern youth, and spring-break travelers across the Southeast. In 2026, the only official Orange Crush® dates return April 9–13, reaffirming the original tradition and restoring the festival’s true place on the regional calendar.

These dates are not just selected—they’re historic. They are the documented Orange Crush® period that alumni, students, creators, and businesses have recognized for years. The 2026 edition brings the festival back to its rightful timeframe with more structure, more city partnerships, and more opportunities for the community than ever before.

While the festival brand continues to grow with additional programming throughout the month, April 9–13 remains the heart, home, and high point of the entire Orange Crush experience.

Why April 9–13 Defines Orange Crush® 2026

This year’s weekend is grounded in:

  • Major HBCU rollouts and campus partnerships

  • Student-led programming and creator showcases

  • City-backed community activations

  • Official vendor and sponsor integrations

  • Multi-day curated experiences across Savannah and surrounding areas

These dates were chosen for their balance of safety, travel flow, and maximum cultural participation across all HBCUs.

The nationwide conversation is already building around these official days—anything happening afterward is simply auxiliary, optional, or bonus, but the culture is anchored to April 9–13.

A Fully Organized, Multi-Day Cultural Experience

The official schedule includes:

Thursday, April 9 — Student Welcome Events, Creator Kickoff

Friday, April 10 — City activations, daytime festivals, nightlife programming

Saturday, April 11 — The regional anchor day; concerts, vendors, creator zones

Sunday, April 12 — Crush The Block™ culture day

Monday, April 13 — Community Day + Student Sendoff

This five-day schedule is designed to distribute crowds safely while keeping the weekend’s heartbeat strong from Thursday through Monday.

And while some fan-favorite after-events may appear later in the month, nothing replaces the original dates.
