Cornerstone Florida was an annual American Christian rock festival held in Orlando, Florida from 2003 to 2007, a satellite festival of the original Cornerstone Festival in Illinois. It was one of the twenty-five festivals recogonized by the Christian Festival Association. It has hosted such bands as Relient K, Kutless, Anberlin, and Family Force 5. In addition to hosting national bands on the main stages, it also allowed for local Christian bands in the area (and from around the state) to perform on side stages for the passing crowds to see and experience.
Starting during the 2004 festival, Cornerstone Florida made an emphasis on doing more than music as they introduced worship and seminar stages for those in attendance who were interested. Groups like Chris Tomlin, Shane and Shane, and others were featured. Although the worship-only stage was removed during the 2005-2007 festivals, worship leaders such as David Crowder were still prevalent and signed to play.
