The Premiere of I Said Yes: A Celebration of Bloomsday at The Rosenbach

Every year, the world celebrates Bloomsday on June 16, the day that James Joyce’s epic Ulysses is set in 1904. This season, in place of our annual festival on Delancey Place, we’re commemorating the date with the premiere of I Said Yes: A Celebration of Bloomsday at The Rosenbach, a new film production. The film captures the celebration of Bloomsday and the significance of Joyce’s groundbreaking work. Through interviews, commentary, music, readings, and much more, I Said Yes: A Celebration of Bloomsday at The Rosenbach reflects on the literary legacy of Ulysses and The Rosenbach’s place in its history.

I Said Yes: A Celebration of Bloomsday at The Rosenbach premieres on Wednesday, June 16, 7:00 p.m. EST (90 minutes). Watch on our website or facebook.com/rosenbachmuseum.

In addition to the premiere of the new film, The Rosenbach is holding a series of free virtual programs and exclusive in-person events throughout the month of June. All in-person events will adhere to the City of Philadelphia’s regulations. Find the full schedule of events here.
