What is the usual Spanish plural of “quinceañera” for multiple celebrations or honorees?

The story behind the answer

The usual Spanish plural of “quinceañera” is “quinceañeras.”

Spanish nouns ending in the unstressed vowel -a commonly form their plural by adding -s, so quinceañera becomes quinceañeras. The ñ remains part of the spelling, and the written accent remains on the á: quinceañeras.

The term can refer to multiple female celebrants or to multiple celebrations, depending on context. It is different from quinceañero, which may refer to a male celebrant or, in some usage, the celebration associated with a boy turning fifteen.

English-language writing sometimes drops diacritics or uses approximate spellings, but the standard Spanish form keeps both the ñ and the accent mark. “Quinceañerases” is not the Spanish plural.
