Dublin • October 6, 2025
Good morning, Dublin. Latin rhythms and horror film screams create an unexpected soundtrack for Dublin this week. New Vision Dance Company's "Fiesta Tropicale" celebration is bringing the vibrant sounds of Gloria Estefan and Jennifer Lopez to the McCoy Center on October 11, featuring everything from tap to flamenco in a colorful tribute to National Hispanic Heritage Month. For those who prefer their entertainment with a side of fright, the Nightmares Film Festival – affectionately dubbed "the Cannes of horror" – marks its 10th anniversary at Gateway Film Center with 18 feature films and 130 shorts from genre masters worldwide.
Meanwhile, a more sobering note from North Columbus, where police are investigating a Sunday afternoon shooting on East Eighth Avenue. The victim is currently in stable condition at a local hospital as authorities work to gather more information about what led to the incident.
