Día de los Muertos Beloved Pets Ofrenda
Advertisement
We invite you to honor and celebrate the cherished memories of your beloved pets who have passed away by submitting their photos for a special Día de los Muertos Beloved Pets Ofrenda here at Brookfield Zoo Chicago.
Día de los Muertos, or Day of the Dead, is a vibrant and deeply meaningful Mexican holiday. Ofrenda is a Spanish word that means "offering" in English. The altar that is created as part of Día de los Muertos honors loved ones who have passed away, inviting their spirits back for a joyous reunion with the living. These colorful displays are a celebration of their life, providing remembrance of the departed. They are also a space to share about their everlasting presence in our lives.
Pets are also cherished family members and Brookfield Zoo Chicago wants to provide a meaningful way to celebrate their lives. Between now and October 11, 2026, share images of your beloved animal family members for placement on our Beloved Pets Ofrenda.
During the weekend of Día de los Muertos, we hope you will visit our Beloved Pets Ofrenda and share stories of your pets with members of our Education & Community Engagement team.
