National Poetry Day and the Final of the Young City Poet of The Hague (Nationale Gedichtendag / Jonge Stadsdichter Den Haag)
This collection is part of a demonstration of how Lera presents knowledge events. The event below is real and is run by its own organiser; Lera has no connection with it. Check the date, programme and conditions on the event’s official page.
Each year The Hague chooses a young city poet from among its secondary-school students. The final is held on National Poetry Day, part of the Dutch Poetry Week, in the Central Library.
It shows that poetry in this city belongs to a new generation too, with the public library as its stage. The event is in Dutch, and times are still to be announced.
The 2027 date has not been announced yet. National Poetry Day falls on the last Thursday of January; the date shown follows that rule and the previous edition on 29 January 2026. Please check the official page before you go.
