A Quinceañera is a traditional celebration in Latin American cultures that marks a girl's transition from childhood to womanhood on her fifteenth birthday. This event is often celebrated with a large party, including family, friends, and community members. The celebration typically features a religious ceremony, such as a mass, followed by a festive reception with music, dancing, and food. The Quinceañera often wears a formal gown, similar to a wedding dress, symbolizing her new status. The event may include various customs, such as the father-daughter dance and the presentation of the Quinceañera's court, which consists of friends and family who support her during this important milestone.
