The City of Tybee Island has voted to restrict alcohol and amplified music on the Island during this year’s highly-publicized Orange Crush beach party.

On the dates of April 14-16 and April 21-23, any unpermitted amplified music on the beach or in the beach’s surrounding parking lots is prohibited. Public consumption of alcohol is also banned for the entire city those two weekends, excluding permitted businesses such as sidewalk cafes.

City Council approved the resolution on Thursday, citing Orange Crush event organizers’ failure to obtain an event permit as the reasoning behind the restriction.
