Joycenights Festival
James Joyce Tower & Museum
9-14 September 2023
The James Joyce Centre was proud to sponsor Joycenights, a literary festival at the James Joyce Tower & Museum in Sandycove from the 9th to the 14th of September 2023.
In September 1904, James Joyce spent six nights in the Sandycove Martello Tower, where he would later set the opening episode of Ulysses. This festival commemorated his short but significant residency with readings, concerts, and a podcast.
