Every year on 16 June, we celebrate James Joyce’s epic tale of Ulysses, Leopold Bloom’s day and night of wandering through Dublin.

While the story captures the heart of Dublin on a summer’s day in 1904, it inspires people worldwide to participate in readings, musical and theatrical performances and much more.
