Thirty satisfied party service exhibitors, the debut of an emerging Quinceañera dress boutique, over 500 eager attendees, plus the presence of a Telemundo Fresno TV anchor, Claudia Castro, all under the same roof.
gabrielalvarad1 | Fresno – With a population that is nearly 50 percent Latino, the Quinceañera market in Fresno is booming now more than ever before! The Quinceanera.com Expo and Fashion show leveraged this fact last Sunday August 9 at the Fresno Hotel, hosting over 30 party services catering to this growing market – from providers of cakes, accessories, dresses, entertainment, transportation, décor, and more.
There are so many local businesses dedicated to serve this flourishing industry in the Fresno area that many are ready and eager to engage in live experiential marketing events when the opportunity arises. Take Lousine Kassouf, Owner of Elegant Bride, a boutique with 24 years in business who recently introduced a quinceañera collection to market. “I’ve never participated in a quinceañera expo before and I was shocked to see the dynamic fashion show and would love to come back next year to sponsor the runway show. The chance to sell your services to hundreds of families in one day is priceless.”

This emerging Quinceañera shop included modern, fancy, fun and colorful designs that left everyone thinking there is no need to look outside Fresno for a quality quince dress.
Those were exactly María Hernandez’s feelings after the fashion show was over. This mom of future quinceañera, Estefanía Hernández, felt lucky to see her daughter so excited for finding her dream dress. “There are so many great deals to look into this event. We came looking for a dress and we left with a hand full of services scratched from our to-do list.”
