A salsa takeover is coming to the North City district in San Marcos this April as their “Dancing in the Street” series returns, bringing a free outdoor dance night held alongside its popular weekly Farmers Market. This month’s featured style is salsa on April 24, bringing upbeat Latin rhythms, quick footwork, and a lively social dance floor, all led by the professional dancers of Bella Lux Entertainment. The evening begins with a special performance from 6 to 6:15 p.m., setting the tone before the crowd is invited to learn the moves themselves during a guided dance class from 6:15 to 7:15 p.m. The night wraps up with open dancing and a live DJ from 7:15 p.m. to 8 p.m. Between sets, guests can explore the farmers market, stop by North City’s eateries for sips and bites, and make their way back to the dance floor throughout the evening.

A heart transplant scheduled in two weeks. A patient undergoing multiple kidney transplants until one works. Behind it is a multi-billion-dollar industry designed to supply organs—on demand. As forced organ harvesting has expanded from Falun Gong practitioners to Uyghurs—and potentially beyond China’s borders—the implications are no longer distant. Americans are connected through organ tourism, medical collaboration, and global supply chains. At stake are the principles of medical ethics and the question of who determines life and death. Join Jan Jekielek, senior editor at The Epoch Times and host of American Thought Leaders, for a live discussion marking the release of Killed to Order—a timely investigation into one of the most consequential human rights issues of our time, and what it means for our communities today.
