2026 Bloomsday Event

Bloomsday at the Irish Cultural Center and McClelland Library is happening on Tuesday June 16th from 10:30am – 3:30pm in the McClelland Library.

In partnership with the Celt Raven Society we invite you to join us for a free gathering of kindred spirits who have a love for James Joyce’s infamous “Ulysses”.

Readers from the Celt Raven Society will dive into some of the most iconic sections of Ulysses.  Come to listen, enjoy a cuppa tea and maybe even partake if chosen!

The day in Dublin is traditionally celebrated with Ulysses being read in every corner of every pub in the city.  Lovers of Joyce dress up in their best period ensembles and bring this iconic book to life throughout the city!

Celebrate this internationally known and in some place, banned, masterpiece on June 16th from 10:30am – 3:30pm!

Even if you have never picked up James Joyce’s Ulysses you can still celebrate this literary masterpiece!
