Poetik Bazar

Live life to the rhythm of poetry over the course of a weekend! Welcome to Poetik Bazar!

Poetik Bazar, Brussels’ poetry market and festival, will be returning to Les Halles de Schaerbeek for its sixth edition from 18-20 September 2026.

At this unique multilingual market, you’ll find over a hundred poetry publishers from Belgium (both French-speaking and Dutch-speaking), France, Switzerland, the Netherlands and Quebec, among others... It’s an opportunity to discover poetry goodies of every kind: from books to magazines, and from self-publications to illustrated works.

Poetik Bazar is also a festival of performances, meet-and-greets, readings, creative workshops for all ages, outdoor activities, signings, concerts to share multifaceted experiences, in the flesh and collectively, stretching and connecting, in every language.

A rich, multilingual and interactive programme of events to help you (re-)discover the vitality of the contemporary poetry scene.
