New Orleans comes alive as the Jambalaya Jazz Band takes their show to the riverside! With the return of the beloved Queenie to the band, get ready to experience the enchanting melodies of New Orleans-inspired jazz as it fills the evening air along the Rivers of America.

The festivities will kick off each evening at 7:35 p.m., and guests can enjoy not just one, but three sets of high-energy performances by the talented musicians. The band’s repertoire will include delightful New Orleans tunes that will have you swaying to the rhythm, along with other beloved Disney favorites that everyone knows and loves.


But the fun doesn’t end there! After you’ve been captivated by the Jambalaya Jazz Band’s lively tunes, stick around for more breathtaking entertainment. Through August 31, you can experience the wonders of “Wondrous Journeys,” an enchanting celebration of the wishers, dreamers and artists at Walt Disney Animation Studios who have shared their imagination and talents with the world, on select nights. If you happen to visit between September 1 and October 31, be sure to catch “Halloween Screams,” a wicked display that is a true Halloween treat for Guests of all ages .

Rivers of America

While you’re soaking up the New Orleans vibes, you can also explore the majestic Rivers of America aboard the historic Mark Twain Riverboat. This 19th-century paddle boat is a true marvel, featuring meticulous wood craftsmanship and a working steam engine that powers its large paddlewheel. Cruise around the river, spot picturesque sights, and enjoy the lively narration about a time long gone.

If you’re seeking a more adventurous experience on the river, look no further than Davy Crockett’s Explorer Canoes. Modeled after the vessels used by early Native American and European explorers, these 35-foot-long canoes are powered entirely by paddles. Paddle your way around Pirate’s Lair on Tom Sawyer Island and witness the beauty of the wilderness as you pass by the charming landscapes of Frontierland, New Orleans Square, and Critter Country.
