Disney has announced a new traveling exhibition in collaboration with The Children’s Museum of Indianapolis that will extend the story of Princess Tiana from The Princess & The Frog.
Tiana’s Joyful Celebration will kick off at The Children’s Museum of Indianapolis beginning March 6th, 2026, before traveling to 12 additional cities during a nationwide tour in 2027.
In the spirit of the newly-opened Tiana’s Bayou Adventure attraction at Walt Disney World and Disneyland, the exhibition will take visitors on a journey to discover a series of interactive, multi-sensory experiences inspired by the music, food and people of New Orleans.

Tiana’s Joyful Celebration: The Story
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.
Disney says the shared vision of Walt Disney Imagineering and The Children’s Museum of Indianapolis aim 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.
