The 12 & Under Festival is the Junior Tour's season-ending, invitational event for the best European 12 & Under players. For the first time the top players of this age category are awarded with a special year-end tournament which crowns the 'Festival Champion'.

Staged in Mallorca, Spain, at the Rafa Nadal Academy, the tournament invites winners of Category 1 events*. Hotel and hospitality is provided for all participants. National squads (*maximum of two boys and two girls per nation) of qualified players receive confirmation of their invitations from national associations in the weeks preceding the Festival. Only players from Tennis Europe member nations are eligible to compete at the Festival (Note: Russia and Belarus are currently not eligible to nominate players for this event). In 2023, the Festival players will also be able to benefit from the on-site expertise of a physiotherapist from the Red Bull Athlete Performance Centre.
