Table of Contents

Friday, June 16 from 11:00 a.m. to 8:00 p.m.

Due to inclement weather, the Bloomsday Festival is being moved to the rain location at Trinity Memorial Church at 2212 Spruce Street

Every year, the world celebrates Bloomsday on June 16, the day that James Joyce’s Ulysses is set in 1904. Nowhere celebrates quite like the Rosenbach, home of Joyce’s manuscript. Bloomsday is a day-long public reading with musical performances that bring the epic novel to life. Joyce enthusiasts and novices alike can drop by any time to listen to the reading, enjoy free admission to the Rosenbach, and relax in the beer garden with a special Bloomsday brew from our partners at Attic Brewing Company.

Notes of smooth pepper warmth, ripe banana and toast gives way to vanilla, pastry and warm spice for the perfect finish. It’s a start-your-night or end your-night whiskey. Sláinte (slahn-cha) is a wonderful Irish expression used as a toast, meaning “Cheers!”
