Join the Little Rock Zoo this fall for our Beloved Pet Ofrenda, a heartfelt tribute honoring the memory of our cherished animal companions. Inspired by the Día de Muertos tradition, this vibrant community altar celebrates our animal companions of all kinds—furry, feathered, and scaled.
We invite you to bring a photo, drawing, or written message about your beloved pet and place it on the altar anytime during Little Rock Zoo hours from Saturday, October 18, through Saturday, November 1. Together, we’ll create a beautiful space of remembrance and love for the animals who’ve touched our lives.
Where: Civitan Pavilion
When: Normal Zoo Hours 9:00 -4:00
This is our second year hosting the Beloved Pet Ofrenda, inspired by a partnership between the L.A. Zoo and Plaza de La Raza, a community art school serving historically excluded groups. Their folklorist artist and local families co-created an altar celebrating this important cultural tradition. Now, we’re proud to bring this meaningful experience to Little Rock.
