PHILIPSBURG:--- The St. Maarten Carnival Development Foundation (SCDF) is inviting all Carnival 2017 booth holders to their final meeting before the 2017 Carnival season gets underway on Dutch St. Maarten. This meeting will be the last of three that is held annually to outline all regulations for booth holders. It will be held on Tuesday, February 28 at 7:00pm at the University of St. Maarten room 202.
It is also the final meeting before the deadline of March 1 for booth holders to make full payment for the booths that have been allotted to them. In this meeting they will also be briefed on regulations regarding garbage removal, fire safety regulations, beverage retailing and overall booth operations in Carnival Village.
“It is essential that booth holders attend this meeting to receive relevant information. We will still be in contact with them leading up to Carnival, but this meeting is absolutely vital as we move forward. In particular, we are asking booth holders to adhere to the March 1 deadline for full payment of the booth that has been allotted to them to avoid any unfortunate circumstances,” the SCDF said.
