liquid's question:
What's that festival, "Bloomsday" if I recall, that the Irish keep at 16 June?(give a different answer) .
It actually stretches on 10 days around June 16. Remember James Joyce with his masterpiece "Ulysses"? he describes only one day in the protagonist's life, 16 June 1904, one day in the life of Leopold Bloom, half Irish-half Jew. Locals try to retrace his journey, most of the time dressed in waistcoats, boater hats, long skirts and parasols. The James Joyce Center on 35, North Great George's St. will guide you.
