Quinceañera is the coming-of-age birthday for girls turning 15 in Latin America and among Hispanics in the U.S. Its history goes back centuries and has been influenced by Native Americans, Catholicism, and European culture. It is a grand social event with the 15 year old wearing a full length dress and high-heels, and signifies her passage into adulthood.
