A quinceañera is a coming out party for girls on their 15th birthday. It is usually quite a spectacular affair with a band, dinner, dessert, etc. The dresses are formal as shown in the picture posted by rac1.

Here is a link to a description.

Welcome to the forum. It is a coming of age celebration for a young 15 year old girl. It can include lavish parties, with fancy dresses-like a wedding without the groom.

Welcome to the forum!

It is a formal type dress to celebrate a girl's 15th birthday, I believe.

The music, at least the ones played by my neighbor, is quite lively. Everyone seemed to be having a great time. I was sorry I didn't speak enough spanish at that time and know them well enough to be invited!
