"Quinceanera-Florida Quince Guide and Show" Celebrates its Fifth Anniversary in Tampa and Expands Into Orlando, Fla.

TAMPA, Fla., May 17, 2011 /PRNewswire/ -- Quinceanera-Florida Quince Guide and Show is an annual magazine and expo targeting young Hispanic girls and parents looking for information to plan and celebrate their Quinces, or the teen's 15th birthday.  This June marks the fifth anniversary of the publication and expo in Tampa.  In addition, the publication is expanding, and a new edition and expo is scheduled for July in Orlando, Fla..

The magazine is unique to the Tampa Bay area and now Orlando, as no other publication exists to provide content and local information about the Quince tradition. According to Quince Editor Cristina Bermudez-Przybycin, "For the past five years we've had the pleasure of bringing the show to the community and making it easy for parents and Quinceaneras to connect with local vendors who will help them create the Quince of their dreams. For that I'm very grateful." The expo also features a high energy fashion show displaying the latest designs and trends for dresses, hair, make-up and themes.  Each publication will be unveiled and distributed at the Tampa and Orlando expos.  The attendance at the expo, as in prior years, is expected to exceed 2,500.

The fifth annual Quinceanera-Florida Quince Guide and Show in Tampa Bay will be held on Sunday, June 12, at A La Carte Event Pavilion from 11 a.m. to 4 p.m.  The show is sponsored by Verizon; co-sponsored by Publix, Grow Financial Federal Credit Union, and Ambassador Limousine.  Media sponsors include CENTRO Tampa, Univision Tampa, Telefutura, Maxima 92.5 FM, The Tampa Tribune, TBO.com, and WFLA News Channel 8.
