THE RETURN OF A SPRING BREAK GIANT ORANGE CRUSH FESTIVAL TOUR 2026
For over three decades, Orange Crush® has existed as more than a spring break — it has lived as a cultural pillar, a rite of passage, and one of the most influential annual youth movements in the South.
In 2026, the festival enters a new era — validated, trademarked, organized, and expanded across multiple U.S. cities — under the full leadership of its founder and federal trademark owner, George Turner.
This is not just a comeback.
This is a national tour.
A brand renaissance.
A historic reclamation of the culture.
Welcome to the Orange Crush Festival® 2026 Tour.
