The third Cyprus Bloomsday Festival is taking place throughout Cyprus from 14-16 June 2024. Admission is free and all are welcome to attend.
Bloomsday is a global commemoration of Irish writer James Joyce. Named after Leopold Bloom, the main protagonist of Joyce’s novel “Ulysses”, Bloomsday takes place annually on 16 June, the same day in which the novel is set in 1904.
Cyprus-based group Ideogramma set up the very first Bloomsday Festival in Cyprus in 2022.
