Boekenweek

In the Netherlands, the Boekenweek (Dutch pronunciation: [ˈbukə(ɱ)ˌʋeːk] ^ⓘ; English: Book Week) is an annual "week" of ten days dedicated to Dutch literature. It has been held in March annually since 1932. Each Boekenweek has a theme. The beginning of the Boekenweek is marked by the Boekenbal (book ball), a gathering that is attended by writers and publishers. Events are held across the country during the Boekenweek, such as book signing sessions, literary festivals and debates.
