Summer Book Market Returns to Belgium's Groentemarkt with Themed Sundays
In August, the Groentemarkt in Belgium will host a series of four "Zomerse Zondagen" organized by 't Leeshuus. Each Sunday offers a curated selection of second‑hand books and a specific theme: an homage to Joseph Roth on 2 August, "Oostende: Oorlog en Vrede" on 9 August, a general reading focus on 23 August and "Motards lezen ook graag boeken" on 30 August. The market runs from 11:00 to 17:00, with live music starting at 15:00 and a summer bar for refreshments. Guided city walks related to the themes begin at 10:30 and 13:00, tickets available via the organizer’s website. The event attracts a large public and combines literary browsing with cultural activities.
