BELOVED PET OFRENDA AT THE LA ZOO
As a part of Heritage Month, Plaza de la Raza partnered once again with the Los Angeles Zoo to create our Beloved Pets Ofrenda in observance of Día de los Muertos. The collaborative altar is designed by Plaza teaching artist America Madrigal-Herrera to honor the memory of cherished animal companions that have passed away. All Zoo guests are welcome to visit and print or draw photos of their pets and place mementos on the ofrenda, located at the Zoo’s Front Entry Plaza through November 2. A second Beloved Pet Ofrenda will be installed onsite at Plaza de la Raza as a part of our center's annual Día de los Muertos Festival at Plaza de la Raza, November 1 beginning at 5pm.
