THE ORANGE CRUSH RENAISSANCE: THE CULTURE TAKES MIAMI & GEORGIA IN 2026

Spring Break • Beach Festivals • Mansion Parties • Yacht Experiences • Celebrity Hosts • Black Influence at Mass Scale

For three decades, Orange Crush has represented something bigger than a party.

It’s been a movement, a migration, and for many, a rite of passage — a cultural homecoming for Black joy, Black travel, and Black influence.

In 2026, that movement enters a new era.

Orange Crush, under the creative vision and executive leadership of George Ransom Turner III — known in the culture as Mikey / PartyPlugMikey / Plug Not A Rapper — is leveling up the entire ecosystem of Black Spring Break travel with a multi-city, multi-weekend lineup stretching from Miami Beach to Savannah and Tybee Island.

This isn’t just a festival schedule.

This is the official Orange Crush Rebuild, the rebirth of the brand with the original trademark owner back at the head of the table, reshaping the entire direction of Spring Break entertainment and positioning the Crush brand as one of the most potent independent youth-culture movements in America.

THE 2026 ERA BEGINS IN SOUTH BEACH: ORANGE CRUSH MIAMI

March 13–16, 2026

South Beach is one of the most iconic party cities on the planet — and for the first time in history, it becomes the stage for the Orange Crush Miami Spring Break takeover, a four-day experience designed for high-energy crowds, creators, influencers, athletes, dancers, and the emerging wave of next-gen talent that follows the Crush brand wherever it goes.

🔥 The Weekend Lineup

Friday — The Miami Arrival

Welcome mixers, beachfront energy, creator meetups, the kind of content-heavy atmosphere that social media eats alive.

Saturday — Mansion Pool Party (Signature Event)

The headline event of the weekend.

A luxury estate flooded with crowds, dancers, models, performers, and creators.

Nighttime energy.

High-visibility brand moments.

Celebrity drop-ins.

The kind of vibe that turns into a thousand reels and TikToks within 24 hours.

Sunday — The Yacht Party

Skyline views. Open-air decks.

Premium-only energy.

A curated list of talent and influencers.

One of the most cinematic experiences Orange Crush has ever done.

Monday — Beach Day / Content Day

Relaxed, social, and aesthetic — the perfect finale for photo ops, footage, and the final push of Miami energy before heading into the Georgia weekends.

THE RETURN HOME: ORANGE CRUSH FESTIVAL — SAVANNAH & TYBEE ISLAND

A Two-Weekend Headline Experience — April 2026

While Miami is the flashy introduction, the spine of the Orange Crush movement lives in Georgia.

In 2026, Orange Crush Festival returns to Tybee Island for two massive weekends, bigger than ever, structured, organized, and officially led by the festival’s true founder and brand owner — George Turner.

The community is watching.

The city is watching.

The entire Southeast is watching.

THE MAN BEHIND THE MOVEMENT

GEORGE RANSOM TURNER III

aka PartyPlugMikey

aka Plug Not A Rapper

Artist • Founder • CEO • Visionary • Cultural Influence Architect

While Orange Crush is the brand, the movement is powered by the personality, strategy, and relentless energy of its owner — a veteran, a creator, and an independent artist whose music catalog stands as the soundtrack to the entire lifestyle.

Plug Not A Rapper is not just an artist name — it’s a philosophy.

A lane.

A brand of its own.

Smart, stylish, strategic, culture-driven, and deeply connected to real-world influence.

And in 2026, the music and the events fuel each other.

Crowds find the festival → they find the movement → they find the artist.

The synergy is intentional.

🟧

WHY THIS MATTERS

THE CULTURE HAS BEEN WAITING FOR “REAL” OWNERSHIP TO RETURN.

For years, the Orange Crush name was mishandled, misrepresented, or used without proper authority.

Now the trademarked brand is back under correct leadership — and the 2026 rollout is the first time in years that the event is:

• Official

• Structured

• Artist-backed

• Media-ready

• Safe and organized

• Scaled for massive attendance

• Legally protected

• Creatively executed with purpose

This is the year Orange Crush becomes a national entertainment property, not just a beach weekend.
