All about Junior Eurovision 2024
While France won the 2023 contest on home soil, French broadcaster France Télévisions had the right of first refusal to host the 2024 contest. Consequently, the EBU has given hosting honours to Spain, who placed second in Nice with Sandra Valero’s “Loviu”. This year’s competition will take place on Saturday, the 16th of November at Caja Mágica.
