In the St. Martin/St. Maarten Soualiga Post, back on January 24th, 2017, the organizers stated the following prior to the festival: "Moreover, we are trying to clean up, create a parking lot, cut poisonous trees, pick up litter, secure the ruined buildings, and even refurbish the little beach bar. In short, we will leave Happy Bay brand new!"

Hope they left that place as unspoiled as it was before they arrived.
