In collaboration with The Children’s Museum of Indianapolis, Tiana’s Joyful Celebration is a traveling exhibition that extends Princess Tiana’s story to a fully immersive museum experience.

Beginning March 7, 2026, the exhibition will first launch at The Children’s Museum of Indianapolis and then starting in 2027 travel to 12 additional cities near you during a nationwide tour.

The Tiana’s Bayou Adventure attraction launched at both Walt Disney World Resort and Disneyland Resort last year. In the spirit of the attraction, the exhibition will take visitors on a journey where they discover a series of fun, interactive, multi-sensory experiences inspired by the music, food and people of New Orleans.

In this magical adventure, Princess Tiana is celebrating her community by throwing a parade. Tiana’s friends, critters included, have been working hard in Tiana’s childhood neighborhood to prepare for the big day. But when the day arrives, they learn that their timeslot begins earlier than anticipated and need the entire community and critter friends to put the finishing touches on the floats to make it in time.

Guests will receive a call for assistance, learning Tiana needs help with décor, music, food, costumes and more. Everyone must come together and contribute their unique talents–a bit of their special spice– to pull the parade together on time. From music and crafts to cooking and community spirit, you’ll be immersed in the diverse and vibrant world of New Orleans’ Mardi Gras celebrations as you help Princess Tiana.

The shared vision of WDI and The Children’s Museum of Indianapolis aims to celebrate culture and embrace creativity through uniting the storytelling of one of Disney’s beloved princesses and educational excellence to create an unforgettable family experience.

The Children’s Museum of Indianapolis ignites joy, wonder and curiosity by creating powerful learning experiences for children and adults.
