What Spanish phrase commonly names a quinceañera celebration itself, rather than the girl being honored?

Fiesta de quince años is a Spanish phrase commonly used for the quinceañera celebration itself.

The phrase means “party of fifteen years” and emphasizes the event rather than the honoree. In everyday usage, quinceañera can refer both to the celebration and, depending on context, to the girl who is being honored. Regional vocabulary is not completely uniform, so families may also use expressions such as fiesta de quince or simply quince.

The celebration may include a religious service, a formal reception, a court of honor, music, dancing, and symbolic gifts. None of these elements is mandatory everywhere. Customs differ between countries and communities, which is why the phrase provides a broad name for the occasion without defining one universal ceremony.
