On June 16th of each year Dublin celebrates Bloomsday. In reality it's a commemoration of James Joyce and especially his novel "Ulysses," the events of which took place in Dublin on one day -- June 16, 1904.
It's a treat to see all of the celebrants dressed in period costume, the public readings of the novel, the public performances of scenes from the book, and in general the celebration of one of the great Irish writers.
