Night of Joy is a contemporary Christian music festival that takes place September 9 and 10, 2011 at Magic Kingdom theme park. It features live performances by Contemporary Christian Music superstars in rock, pop and gospel.

Also part of the two-night event (when specific acts play one evening each): Newsboys, Jeremy Camp, Skillet, MercyMe, TobyMac, Jars of Clay and others.

Musically, the acts add up to a lineup that runs the spectrum from Rock, Hip Hop and R&B … to Pop, Adult Contemporary and Gospel – continuing a tradition that has been a hallmark of Night of Joy since 1983 when the event began.

It’s also a lineup laden with accolades.  Ten of the artists have amassed a combined 81 Gospel Music Association Dove Awards and six The Recording Academy Grammy Awards.  Twelve of the artists are nominated for a total of 33 Dove Awards this year.  Winners will be announced April 21 at Nashville's famed Grand Ole Opry House.

From 7 p.m. until 12:30 a.m. each night – after regular Magic Kingdom hours – the special-ticket event will feature live performances on several stages throughout the park.  In addition, guests can experience some of the park’s most popular attractions during Night of Joy hours. The following attraction are open:

• Big Thunder Mountain Railroad
• Space Mountain
• Buzz Lightyear's Space Ranger Spin
• Splash Mountain
