Bloomsday 2025 is an annual commemoration of the life and works of Irish author James Joyce, held on June 16th, the day his seminal novel Ulysses takes place. The event was first celebrated in 1954 and has since become a popular literary and cultural festival in Dublin, Ireland. Named after Leopold Bloom, the protagonist of Ulysses, Bloomsday 2025 will mark the 100th anniversary of the novel’s publication.
Bloomsday celebrations typically include readings, lectures, walking tours, and other events related to Joyce’s life and work. The day is also an opportunity for people to dress up in Edwardian clothing and immerse themselves in the atmosphere of early 20th-century Dublin. In 2025, Bloomsday is expected to be a particularly special occasion, with a wide range of events planned to celebrate the centenary of Ulysses.
