Tybee Island, Georgia, is planning to welcome the controversial “Orange Crush” music festival in April. As long as the organizer agrees to meet certain conditions.
“Thank you for your interest in the 2025 Orange Crush Festival!” Posts on the Orange Crush Instagram page will be read. “We are pleased to announce that for the first time in decades, we are fully permitted and ready to celebrate April 18th-20th.”
