Re-Joyce!
Miami Celebrates the 106th Anniversary of Bloomsday

For millions of people June 16 is an extraordinary day. On that day, 106 years ago in 1904, two residents of Dublin, Ireland, Stephen Dedalus and Leopold Bloom embarked on their epic converging journeys through the city. Their travels and adventures, both real and imagined, were memorialized in James Joyce's masterpiece, Ulysses, the world's most highly acclaimed modern novel. "Bloomsday," named after Leopold Bloom himself, has become a tradition for Joyce enthusiasts all over the world. From Tokyo to Sidney, San Francisco to Buffalo, Trieste to Paris, Sarasota to Miami, dozens of cities around the globe hold their own Bloomsday festivities

Miami-Dade County will join these cities in observing the Bloomsday 106th Anniversary Celebration with a series of activities in Coral Gables. The St. Patrick’s Day Committee, The South Florida Emerald Society, Inc. the Miami-Dade Public Library System in cooperation with the City of Coral Gables, Actors' Playhouse, Books & Books, and John Martin's Irish Pub and Restaurant are sponsors. The project is presented with the support of the Miami-Dade County Department of Cultural Affairs, the Cultural Affairs Council, the Mayor and the Miami-Dade Board of County Commissioners.
