Pole dancers and aerial artists are turning Brick + Beam into a Día de los Muertos spectacle on November 7, and ticket sales benefit Fur Sisters Rescue. The Día de los Muertos Pole Variety Show blends performance art with a cause, raising funds for the rescue.

Presented by Alt Fit Jax, the evening will feature pole dancing and aerial arts while celebrating the traditions of Día de los Muertos, according to News4JAX. Ticket sales from the show benefit Fur Sisters Rescue.

Fur Sisters Rescue Began in 2016

Fur Sisters began in 2016 in Jacksonville and has rescued dogs from rural shelters.

Krehbiel said every dollar the rescue brings in goes straight back into its dogs' care. “All funds taken in go back to help the dogs in our care. We pay for all vet care and supplies needed until adopted,” she said.

A Shelter System Under Strain

An August 21, 2026, report from Action News Jax said Animal Care and Protective Services was housing 433 dogs across 264 kennels, with more arrivals expected after two large impound cases, as the city waived adoption fees amid overcrowding.

For now, the focus in Jacksonville is on November 7, when pole fitness, aerial performance, and holiday tradition converge at Brick + Beam for a cause that keeps growing one foster home at a time.
