Question

In costa rica do girls celebrate the quinceanera?

Answer 1

Yes, They do

Answer 2

yes... why?

Answer 3

I've been invited to a few quincenas.  I find it hard to accept a 15 year old as a woman , but I realize it is an old custom.  The first time I saw the changing of the shoes I cried  LOL.  The b'day girl came in in low heeled shoes, and after a while the mom did the changing of the shoes to HIGH HEELS, signifying womanhood.

It's an expensive party so not even 1/5th of the girls have these parties.

Answer 4

Yes they do , like most Latin american countries

Answer 5

Most Latin American countries celebrate their 15th birthday and not the sweet sixteen like in the US. There always a part, where the girl dances first with her dad and then with a date. The dress is usually pink and there's cake, a DJ, all relatives and friends attending. It's like the official date when a girl is considered a woman. In Costa Rica there are quinceañeros but nowadays, girls usually ask for a trip abroad instead of a huge party.
