La Quinceanera?
What is a Quinceanera??A Quinceanera or?Sweet 15 is a major milestone in a Hispanic girl's life. It signifies her entrance to womanhood and the acceptance of new responsibilities this brings. The history of the?Quinceanera?dates back to the 1500's, however the Quinceanera?tradition is still popular today in Mexico, the United States, South America, and many other?Spanish speaking countries.
What is the Purpose of a Quinceanera? This special celebration marks the begining of womanhood. Tradition places new responsibilities on the young woman such as houshold duties, work, and family needs. While a great deal of attention is placed on the celebration, the main purpose of a Quinceanera is for the young woman to live a life of faith, good morals and principles, devotion to her community, and live a decent lifestyle.
Where does a Quinceanera take place? Usually a church mass is celebrated first. Then, the dinner and dance celebration can be held at the church hall, reception/banquet hall, or many other unique possibilities.

My family is from S.A. and we never did the Quinc. thing. It is a highly Mexican tradition. They are very expensive and over the top. Second only to weddings, (which they are a miniature version of) people go into debt for these things.
I went to one when I was younger that was essentially a drinking fest.
