Night of Joy (festival)

Night of Joy was an annual contemporary Christian music festival that took place from 1983 to 2017 at Walt Disney World Resort in Florida.

It was cancelled in 2018 and replaced with a mainstream Eat to the Beat concert series, with Christian pop rock artists MercyMe and Tauren Wells joining the lineup.

[1] Night of Joy inspired two other Christian rock festivals in the Orlando region: Cornerstone Florida, which ran in the month of May from 2003 to 2007, and Rock the Universe at Universal Studios Florida, in operation since 1998.

The event returned to Magic Kingdom after two years of being held at Disney's Hollywood Studios.

This is the final Night of Joy held at Disney's Hollywood Studios.

Previously, Night of Joy was held exclusively at the Magic Kingdom theme park.
