Overview
- Savannah will close several downtown streets, add no‑parking zones, and assign a rideshare hub during the festival weekend to manage spillover crowds near City Market.
- Tybee Island approved a one‑day beach permit north of the pier that requires hired security, an ambulance contract, beach sanitation, and city‑named insurance.
- Multiple agencies will assist on Tybee, including Georgia State Patrol Motor Compliance, state arson investigators, and the Chatham and Liberty sheriffs, with a road safety checkpoint planned near Lazaretto Creek.
- Island traffic controls will mirror last year with both pier lots closed, towing for illegal parking, limited on‑street spaces on Butler Avenue, and a center lane reserved for emergency vehicles.
- Organizers retitled the event ‘Crush Reloaded’ after a trademark dispute, and recent foot‑traffic estimates near 30,000 in past single‑day editions are driving the larger enforcement footprint.
