Never heard of this. So it's kind of like a Prom? Here in the US, a fifteen-year-old is considered very much a child and will not be considered a "young woman" for years more. Glad you enjoyed your celebration! :)

No, it is not a graduation, it is something like the celebration of sweet 16. Mainly this tradition of celebrating fifteen years, comes from the time of the colony where the young women when they reached this age were presented in society with the purpose of find them husbands Of course, the news is no longer done for this reason or purpose, but it is a tradition to celebrate it with an important event, and also for us a quiniciañera is a teenager, but as I said, it is a tradition.
Thank you very much for supporting the post. I had a lot of fun at my quinceanera party.
