James Joyce’s Ulysses follows the lives of three Dubliners over the course of a single day – June 16, 1904. And for years, avid readers around the world have taken to reading the modernist masterpiece aloud on the anniversary of that day. The Hammer is in its 15th year of hosting a Bloomsday party, and this year features songs, readings, and of course, Guinness on tap. Slainte!
