Woolfians around the globe celebrated Dalloway Day last week, a day commemorating
Clarissa Dalloway’s walk to “buy the flowers herself” in preparation for her party that evening.
The official date, as established in 2018 by both the Virginia Woolf Society of Great Britain and the International Virginia Woolf Society, is the third Wednesday in June, which this year fell on June 15. But events celebrating Virginia Woolf’s 1925 novel Mrs. Dalloway are not usually restricted to one day, and this year was no exception.
Here is a rundown of some of the events that took place this year, along with a few notable #DallowayDay tweets, some of which share interesting resources.

‘Mrs. Dalloway said she would buy the flowers herself..
There were flowers: delphiniums, sweet peas, bunches of lilac; and carnations, masses of carnations’
