PALM COAST, Fla. - Floridant -- S.M.A.R.T. (Saving Missing Animals Response Team) of Flagler County will host a Ribbon Cutting Ceremony for The Rainbow Bridge on Saturday, Jan. 17, 2026 at 10:00 a.m. at Holland Park (18 Florida Park Dr N, Palm Coast). The community is invited to attend this heartfelt event—pets are welcome—to celebrate the grand opening of a new symbol of love, remembrance, and community spirit in Palm Coast.

Created in proud partnership with East Coast Animal Hospital and the City of Palm Coast, The Rainbow Bridge is designed as a permanent memorial space where families can honor the pets who have crossed the rainbow bridge and reflect on the joy they brought into our lives.

Event highlights include:

• Official Ribbon Cutting Ceremony
• Rainbow Bridge proclamation by city officials and community leaders
• Heartfelt thanks to sponsors who helped make the project possible
• Meet the teams from SMART of Flagler Dog Rescue and East Coast Animal Hospital
• Light refreshments

As part of the project, community members can honor their pets by purchasing a custom-engraved tag to be placed on The Rainbow Bridge. Each tag will bear a pet's name, creating a lasting tribute and a meaningful place for reflection.
