Spanish term or phrase: los restos de la fiesta.
I would like to know the best translation of this phrase from Latin American Spanish into American English.

Colleagues from Spain, feel free to send me your suggestions as well. This is a translation about Mythology.

Is okay to translate it as among the remains of the party or what was left from the party?

It's about the story of Theseus and the Minotaur.

I hope that all of you are healthy and safe from Covid19.

Here is the full paragraph for your review:

Cuando ella despertó, él ya no estaba, el sol iluminaba la blanca arena, ella busco a Teseo sin hallarle, y corrió a la orilla por entre los restos de la fiesta, pisando las huellas de los bailarines hasta las olas, mientras la nave con las velas negras llevaba a Teseo de vuelta a Atenas.

what was left from the party


Explanation:
If there was a party in the story before this part, I believe this is a good choice and one of the most accurate. If not, then "los restos de la fiesta" may mean wreckage or something similar.
