A Multi-City Cultural Takeover Powered by the Founder: ORANGE CRUSH 2026.

Published in Crush Magazine™ — Spring 2026 Edition

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.

🔥 CHAPTER 1: MIAMI SPRING BREAK — MARCH 13–16, 2026

The South Beach Superstarter

South Beach becomes the epicenter of the Spring Break universe as Orange Crush® launches the national tour in pure, luxurious Miami fashion:

• Saturday Mansion Pool Party (11 PM–4 AM)

• Sunday Yacht Party (9 PM–12 AM)

• Daily beach energy, rooftop events, and celebrity-infused nightlife

Miami sets the tempo: fast, premium, sexy, international, unapologetically loud.

This weekend is the fuse that lights the rest of the Orange Crush® season.
