Boekenweek is the annual Dutch book festival, running from March 11 to 22 under the theme 'Mijn generatie' (My Generation) — exploring how generations shape each other and what that means for literature. Spend €17.50 or more on Dutch-language books at any participating bookshop and receive the free Boekenweekgeschenk 'Piaggio' by bestselling author Hendrik Groen. Libraries across the country host author meet-and-greets, lectures, and workshops tied to the generation theme. On March 22, participating museums offer free entry when you show your Boekenweekgeschenk.
