From 31 March to 2 April 2017, the 10th edition of the Printemps des Poètes festival will take place across Luxembourg.

As the Printemps des Poètes Luxembourg celebrates ten years, having been created in 2008, there will be performances by poets from previous editions, as well as up and coming young poets and an incursion into the multiple songs of “Africa(s)”.
