Few events are as uniquely Dublin as Bloomsday, the annual celebration of James Joyce’s masterpiece Ulysses.
The festival includes walking tours, theatre performances, readings, exhibitions and lectures across the city. Many participants dress in Edwardian clothing, recreating the atmosphere of Dublin in 1904.
For literature lovers, it remains one of the most distinctive cultural events in Ireland.
