  • The 2025 Orange Crush Festival is scheduled for April 18-20 at Tybee Island Beach, Georgia, with additional events in Savannah and nearby locations.

  • The name Orange Crush on Tybee Island has been around as a civil rights rebellion to discrimination and lack of inclusion of minorities on Tybee Island as early as the 1960’s. the Orange Crush Festival began in the late 1980s as an informal spring break gathering for students at Savannah State University, a historically Black college in Georgia. The event quickly grew in popularity, attracting students from other historically Black colleges and universities (HBCUs) across the region. By the 1990s, it had evolved into a large-scale beach party on Tybee Island, often held without official permits and becoming known for its raucous atmosphere and occasional disorder. Over the years, the festival faced criticism and concern from local residents and officials due to issues like heavy drinking, traffic congestion, litter, and safety incidents. Despite these challenges, the event persisted, often operating outside formal city approval until 2025, when it received its first official permit in over 30 years, marking a new era of collaboration between organizers and local authorities.

  • Orange Crush Tybee is the original Orange Crush Festival location and 2025 marked its first year permitted since 1989. In 2025, Orange Crush Tybee managed on-the-ground operations, including festival permitting, local vendor coordination, public safety, and environmental stewardship on Tybee Island. Its role ensures the Orange Crush Festival runs smoothly within the community’s regulatory and cultural framework. Tybee also serves as a pilot site for OCU’s community engagement programs, offering students and residents opportunities for participation and leadership. The success and stories from Tybee’s initiatives are highlighted by CRUSH Magazine, connecting local impact to the global CRUSH narrative.

  • By integrating local vendors into festival supply chains and encouraging sponsorship collaborations, Orange Crush Tybee creates direct revenue and marketing opportunities for Tybee businesses. Residents can engage as volunteers or employees, gaining experience and income. The use of CRUSH COIN facilitates smooth financial transactions locally, encouraging adoption of the platform. These efforts are frequently documented in CRUSH Magazine to showcase the tangible benefits to the Tybee community.

  • Community members can participate as festival volunteers, attend workshops hosted by Orange Crush University, or engage with local sustainability projects. Information about upcoming events, volunteer sign-ups, and educational opportunities are regularly posted via the festival’s official channels and CRUSH Magazine, fostering inclusive participation and transparency.

  • The legal and historical owner of Orange Crush Festival is George “Mikey” Ransom Turner III. He has been involved with organizing the event as early as 2006 as a teen while attending Calvary Day School while simultaneously being featured as a basketball star as early as his freshman and sophomore years and being named All Region performer all 4 years. After graduating in 2010 he attended Clark Atlanta University and launched promotions teams to support the brand at multiple universities throughout Georgia. In 2012 he returned to Savannah State University and took over complete operations for then unpermitted Orange Crush Festival. In 2021 he trademarked the festival as “Orange Crush Festival” officially and in 2025 was essential in achieving the event’s first approved permitted Beach Music Festival since 1989. Mr. Turner is the owner of “Orange Crush Festival Tybee, LLC, Orange Crush University, Inc 501c3 Non Profit, CRUSH Magazine, and Crush Coin Cryptocurrency.” He is also a 100% disabled Army Veteran.
