Night of Joy (festival)
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Night of Joy is an annual Christian rock festival that takes place at Walt Disney World in Orlando, Florida. It started in 1983, and it normally takes place in the second week of September. The only band announced yet for Night of Joy 2007 is Kutless.
Night of Joy is one of three Christian rock festivals held in Florida each year, and all three are held around the Orlando area. One of the other festivals is Cornerstone Florida, a spinoff of the original Cornerstone Festival, and the Florida version is held in May. The other Florida festival is Rock the Universe, which is held at Universal Studios Florida, on the same nights as Night of Joy. The two festivals are both successful, despite the competition, although the main part of that competition comes from what bands the two festivals book.
