Bloomsday, the annual celebration of Irish writer James Joyce, returns to the Island on Saturday, June 14.

Bloomsday aims to pay homage to Joyce with performance, poetry and music. It arrives once again on June 15 at the Katharine Cornell Theatre.

On Saturday, 100 years after the publication of Ulysses, the spirit of Joyce’s seminal work returned for the annual Bloomsday Celebration in West Tisbury.

The Island's annual Bloomsday Festival, celebrating the writings of James Joyce, returns this Saturday to a new location: the First Congregational Church of West Tisbury.

The Vineyard has hosted a Bloomsday celebration since 1979, thanks to organizer John Crelan and the Arts & Society group. June 16, 1904, is the day James Joyce’s masterwork Ulysses takes place.
