Disney’s contemporary Christian music event, Night of Joy, will celebrate its 34th year by once again featuring an unprecedented line of Christian music artists. For the first time, the event’s concerts will take place within the ESPN Wide World of Sports Complex at three of the complex’s venues: Champion Stadium, HP Fieldhouse and Jostens Center.
The doors of the premises open and activities begin at 5:00 p.m. M. Every evening, and the performances take place from 6:30 am indoors and outdoors. Building on the past when Night of Joy was held at Disney’s Magic Kingdom, those who purchase a day with the park option or a two-night ticket will be able to choose which theme park to visit on Saturday, September 10 – Disney’s Magic Kingdom, Epcot, Disney’s Hollywood Studios or Disney’s Animal Kingdom.
Some of the highlights of this popular Christian event are:
- Incredible performances by a variety of artists every night.
- Family activity area
- Expo with a variety of vendors
- Variety of food and beverage options, including Food Trucks
- Featured Talent Competition
- Youth Leader Lounge with food and non-alcoholic beverages.
- Courtesy transportation.
The 2016 lineup will feature a number of inspiring artists, including 2015 Grammy Award winner Francesca Battistelli. Also featured are Night of Joy favorites like MercyMe and Casting Crowns, as well as newcomers like Tim Timmons.
