Night of Joy (festival)
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Night of Joy is an annual contemporary Christian music festival that takes place at Walt Disney World Resort in Florida. It started in 1983 and normally takes place in the second week of September.
Night of Joy is one of three Christian rock festivals held in the Orlando, Florida area each year. The others are Cornerstone Florida, a spinoff of the original Cornerstone Festival, which is held in May, and Rock the Universe, which is held at Universal Studios Florida typically on the same nights as Night of Joy.
