Princess Tiana’s journey continues far beyond the bayou and the Disney Parks! Starting March 7, 2026, Tiana’s Joyful Celebration will debut as a traveling exhibit developed by Walt Disney Imagineering and The Children’s Museum of Indianapolis. This immersive museum experience brings the spirit of New Orleans and the magic of Tiana’s Bayou Adventure to life for families nationwide.
You don’t have to wait to experience Disney magic—Mickey Mouse Clubhouse: The Exhibit is open now at The Children’s Museum of Indianapolis, inviting young fans to step into a colorful, interactive adventure with Mickey and friends. And just around the corner, Princess Tiana is preparing for a new kind of celebration coming in 2026.
From Magic Kingdom to Museum Halls
The exhibition kicks off its nationwide tour at The Children’s Museum of Indianapolis, where it will debut before heading to 12 additional cities in 2027. This all-new experience builds on the story and style of the Tiana’s Bayou Adventure attractions at Walt Disney World and Disneyland. But instead of a log flume ride, visitors will join Tiana and her friends to help plan and pull off a festive Mardi Gras-style parade.
Get Immersed in the Spirit of New Orleans
Tiana’s neighborhood is buzzing with preparation, but a last-minute schedule change means there’s no time to waste. Guests step into the story and help finalize the floats, music, costumes, food, and decorations. Everyone has a role to play.
Families will dive into the culture of New Orleans through crafts, cooking, music, and community activities. The hands-on experiences encourage creativity, teamwork, and cultural appreciation.
An Unforgettable Launch at America’s Largest Children’s Museum
The Children’s Museum of Indianapolis offers more than just a launchpad—it’s a wonderland. As the largest children’s museum in the world, it boasts 485,000 square feet of indoor exhibits and 7.5 acres of outdoor fun. With real dinosaur fossils in Dinosphere and a sprawling sports complex, it’s no surprise USA Today named it the country’s best museum three years running.
Disney Magic Comes to Life—Today and Tomorrow at The Indianapolis Children’s Museum
Disney fans can find even more magic right now with Mickey Mouse Clubhouse: The Exhibit, open through September 1, 2025. This interactive exhibit invites young guests to help Mickey and friends plan a surprise birthday party for Pluto. From baking cupcakes to gardening and dancing, kids explore the world of the beloved Disney Junior series in a playful, hands-on way. Learn more about the exhibit at The Children’s Museum of Indianapolis.
As the museum turns 100 in 2025, Tiana’s Joyful Celebration adds a new milestone. Disney magic shines today through Mickey’s world—and returns tomorrow with Tiana’s Mardi Gras celebration.
Follow the Parade to a City Near You
The exhibit will tour 12 U.S. cities starting in 2027. Disney has yet to release the full list of stops, but guests can expect immersive experiences, cultural flair, and festive fun. Follow @WaltDisneyImagineering and @childrensmuseum for tour announcements and behind-the-scenes updates.
