Is there a slang or colloquialism for "homecoming dance"

Question

Ok everyone, my question is this: when I look up the translation for "homecoming dance" the machine gives me two different answers both "baile de regreso al hogar" and "baile de graduación". So is one of these correct or is there a similar event in Spanish speaking cultures that has a different translation, or is homecoming strictly an American cultural event? Is there a less formal more slang or colloquial way of saying "homecoming" in Spanish?

Answer 1

I am sure I anwered a similar question the other day, but can't find it.

the only way to say this in Spanish: Baile de graduación
