This vibrant event is set to showcase a diverse range, music, readings and community engagement, promising an unforgettable experience for all.

Joycenights Festival celebrates the week that James Joyce stayed in the Sandycove Martello Tower with Oliver St John Gogarty in 1904. William Bulfin described Joyce at this time as a “singer of songs which spring from the deepest currents of life”. This sentiment perfectly encapsulates the spirit of the festival – a gathering where both established and emerging musicians and readers converge to reconnect with the creative spirit of James Joyce in the Tower where Ulysses begins.

Inspired by James Joyce's commitment to creating extraordinary art, the festival aims to establish a vibrant cultural celebration that resonates with the local community and visitors alike.
