What is Bloomsday?

Bloomsday is the day on which protagonist Leopold Bloom made his “odyssey” through Dublin in Ulysses. Every year, the Rosenbach joins with Joyce lovers throughout the world to celebrate “Bloomsday” on June 16. Hundreds gather on Delancey Place for this event, which features readings from Ulysses by notable Philadelphians from the steps of the museum. An exhibition of Joyce materials is also on view inside the museum, which is open to visitors all day.
