About this event

The Bloomsday Festival is one of Ireland’s most vibrant and unique literary celebrations, taking place this year from 11 - 16 June 2026. Come celebrate one of Ireland's most iconic and unique cultural celebrations!

Bloomsday celebrates June 16th 1904, the day immortalised in James Joyce’s 1922 novel "Ulysses." The day is named after Leopold Bloom, the novel’s protagonists. The novel follows Bloom’s life and thoughts (as well as those of a host of other characters, real and fictional) from 8am through to the early hours of the following morning.

Bloomsday celebrations come in many different forms, including readings, performances, reenactments, tours, exhibitions, lectures, children’s events, a film festival, and more!

See the Bloomsday Festival website for full programme details.
