On June 16th, we proudly celebrate Bloomsday, honoring James Joyce and his literary masterpiece, Ulysses. This day commemorates the adventures of Leopold Bloom through the streets of Dublin in 1904.

Why Celebrate? Ulysses captures the essence of Dublin like no other book. Joyce's detailed narrative takes us on a journey through the city's heart, making us fall in love with every street and corner.

🎩 What to Expect:

Costumes: Step back in time as people dress in Edwardian attire, bringing Joyce’s characters to life.
Readings: Enjoy public readings of Ulysses throughout the city, immersing yourself in its rich, lyrical prose.
Festivities: Revel in music, theater, and walking tours that trace Bloom's steps through historic Dublin.
As Joyce himself said, "𝑰 𝒘𝒂𝒏𝒕 𝒕𝒐 𝒈𝒊𝒗𝒆 𝒂 𝒑𝒊𝒄𝒕𝒖𝒓𝒆 𝒐𝒇 𝑫𝒖𝒃𝒍𝒊𝒏 𝒔𝒐 𝒄𝒐𝒎𝒑𝒍𝒆𝒕𝒆 𝒕𝒉𝒂𝒕 𝒊𝒇 𝒕𝒉𝒆 𝒄𝒊𝒕𝒚 𝒐𝒏𝒆 𝒅𝒂𝒚 𝒔𝒖𝒅𝒅𝒆𝒏𝒍𝒚 𝒅𝒊𝒔𝒂𝒑𝒑𝒆𝒂𝒓𝒆𝒅 𝒇𝒓𝒐𝒎 𝒕𝒉𝒆 𝒆𝒂𝒓𝒕𝒉 𝒊𝒕 𝒄𝒐𝒖𝒍𝒅 𝒃𝒆 𝒓𝒆𝒄𝒐𝒏𝒔𝒕𝒓𝒖𝒄𝒕𝒆𝒅 𝒐𝒖𝒕 𝒐𝒇 𝒎𝒚 𝒃𝒐𝒐𝒌." 𝑨𝒏𝒅 𝒓𝒆𝒎𝒆𝒎𝒃𝒆𝒓, "𝑰𝒏 𝒕𝒉𝒆 𝒑𝒂𝒓𝒕𝒊𝒄𝒖𝒍𝒂𝒓 𝒊𝒔 𝒄𝒐𝒏𝒕𝒂𝒊𝒏𝒆𝒅 𝒕𝒉𝒆 𝒖𝒏𝒊𝒗𝒆𝒓𝒔𝒂𝒍."
