Wikidata

  1. Bloomsday

    Bloomsday is a commemoration and celebration of the life of Irish writer James Joyce during which the events of his novel Ulysses are relived. It is observed annually on 16 June in Dublin and elsewhere. Joyce chose the date as it was the date of his first outing with his wife-to-be, Nora Barnacle; they walked to the Dublin suburb of Ringsend. The name is derived from Leopold Bloom, the Ulyssean protagonist. The English portmanteau word Bloomsday is usually used in Irish as well, though some purist publications call it Lá Bloom. The 2006 Bloomsday festivities were cancelled, the day coinciding with the funeral of Charles Haughey.
