 16th
June, Bloomsday, marks the day in 1904 on which all the action
of James Joyce's novel Ulysses takes place. It is celebrated
every year on 16th June by Joyceans all over the world. In
Dublin, where the novel is set, Bloomsday celebrations go
on for a week, with most of the attention on the day itself.
 It
is traditional to dress up and go out for the day, visiting
the locations of the book and taking part in readings, walks,
reenactments and convivial activities of all sorts which in
some way connect with Ulysses, its author and its world. As
an occasion rather than a festival, Bloomsday has no 'official'
programme or organising committee. Events on this list are
arranged by a number of different bodies and occur at venues
in and around the city.
As Bloomsday gets closer we'll be carrying more information
on the events in
and around the city to mark this great literary feast day!
