Disneyland Resort is gearing up to continue its 70th anniversary celebration of making family moments magical next year with new experiences, celebratory events and more—including an exciting new event inspired by “Bluey!”
The Disneyland Resort 70th Celebration will end on August 9, 2026, so everyone heading to Disneyland before then will be able to participate in some way, from watching the “Paint the Night” parade to experiencing some exciting new additions.
Beginning March 22, Disneyland Park guests will be able to enjoy their favorite animated dogs with “Bluey’s Best Day Ever!” a musical and game event held at Fantasyland Theatre, complete with games like Keepy Uppy and more.
Next year is shaping up to be a big one for festivals and events.
