Bloomsday Festival
James Joyce fans around the world celebrate Bloomsday on 16 June
every year, but nowhere as creatively as in Dublin, the birthplace
of the famous novelist. The festival commemorates his masterpiece
Ulysses, one of the most highly acclaimed works of the 20th
century in which Joyce captured the soul of Dublin in the tale of
Leopold Bloom and his adventures on Thursday, 16 June 1904. The
celebrations include re-enactments of Bloom's day as people visit
the places where the novel was set, as well as readings,
performances, breakfasts, look-alike contests and visits to the
pub.
Date: 16 June annually;
