Bloomsday Montreal

Bloomsday Montreal Our 15th annual Festival Bloomsday Montreal is June 12-16, 2026, with an array of film, theatre, readings, and other dramatic events!

Check out https://bloomsdaymontreal.com/upcoming/ and sign up for our newsletter here: https://mailchi.mp/06a04129f34 Now the largest Bloomsday Festival in Canada. It will run from June 10-16 2023. Montrealers (along with people from 60+ other countries worldwide!) will commemorate Bloomsday, the date made famous in James Joyce’s Ulysses. Ulysses takes place on June 16, 1904 and is the odyssey of

Leopold Bloom, an Irish Jew, set in a world of pubs, shops, churches and urban street life in and around Dublin. Joining Bloom on his journey were Molly Bloom, Stephen Dedalus, stately plump Buck Mulligan, Blazes Boylan, Davy Byrne at his pub and a host of other characters. Several events will take place at the The Jewish Public Library, Westmount Library, as well as at Concordia's School of Canadian Irish Studies, the Atwater Library, the Irish Embassy Pub, and more! OFFICIAL LAUNCH of our next Bloomsday Festival will be held when details will be available. REGISTRATION on our website: bloomsdaymontreal.com
