Three Beaches, One Community
Beaches Prepare for Orange Crush
Beaches city officials met Monday to discuss the Orange Crush event scheduled to take place in
Duval County on June 18-20. While initially promoted as a Jacksonville Beach event, at this time it
appears that none of the official events are taking place in Atlantic Beach, Neptune Beach, or
Jacksonville Beach. Additionally, none of the beach cities have been asked for or issued any event
permits.
Beaches officials, law enforcement, and staff have monitored the event closely and have worked to
stay appraised of the evolving plans. While there are no permitted events on public land, officials are
prepared for a very busy weekend. Due to the history of the event at its previous location, police
departments across the area will assist to ensure that residents and visitors alike enjoy a safe
weekend at the beach.
The summer has already been a very busy one for the beaches communities. Officials have engaged
in an education campaign that started prior to spring break to familiarize businesses, visitors, and
residents with the rules that are consistent across the three beach cities including prohibitions of
open containers, littering, and walking on the dunes. To view beach rules visit: bit.ly/beachesrules
