Rainbow Bridge Remembrance Day is observed annually on August 28, falling on a Friday in 2026. This day honors the beloved pets who have passed away and crossed the metaphorical "Rainbow Bridge".
Founded by Deborah Barnes in 2015 to honor her late cat Mr. Jazz, the observance provides pet owners a dedicated time to process grief and celebrate the unconditional love of their animal companions.
