La Casita turns 15!

We invite our community to share memories, photos, videos, objects, quinceañera dresses—also stories of quinceañeras from years past.

We want to celebrate your quinceañera stories and experiences in a beautiful exhibition that La Casita will present to commemorate its 15th anniversary.

Is there a quinceañera in the family this year? We invite you to celebrate her special day at La Casita during Hispanic Heritage Month, on September 19, 2026, at the opening of the exhibition: Quinceañera Dreams.
