TYBEE ISLAND ― Promoters don’t 3 expect juicy profits from Orange Crush, an HBCU spring break beach bash planned for April 19 along the Georgia coast. They’re prohibited from selling anything other than water and event merchandise. The music and dancing must wrap before dark. Attendee parking is limited. And they can’t fence off a section of the beach and charge admission.

Yet for Steven Smalls and George Ransom Turner, reestablishing Orange Crush as a legitimate festival after its 34-year run as an unsanctioned party that residents considered a nuisance but attendees loved is worth the squeeze.
