Szombathely has been celebrating Bloomsday since 1994, commemorating James Joyce’s hero, Leopold Bloom. Szombathely holds the distinction of being referenced directly in Ulysses, having been the birthplace of Bloom’s father, Rudolf Virag.
The contemporary art festival has now become a city tradition, attracting thousands of visitors. This year’s festival will take place on 12-16 June. For further information, please see its Facebook page on https://www.facebook.com/bloomsday.szombathely/
