Everyone knows THE main Irish holiday is on March 17th. But there is another ‐ Bloomsday ‐ celebrated each year on June 16th.
Bloomsday celebrates the single day that’s chronicled in Irish author James Joyce’s famous novel Ulysses. If you haven’t read the book, don’t worry (or bother) – not many people can get through its 265,000 words. What you need to know is that the novel follows Leopold Bloom’s stream‐of‐consciousness wanderings through one single extraordinary day on June 16th 1904 in Dublin Ireland.
